Following the Chau Doc route, tourists visit the famous Ba Chua Xu Temple, Tay An ancient temple, and the tomb of Thoai Ngoc Hau - the man who opened up An Giang. Moving down a small boat, cruising on the Hau River, tourists visit the floating fish village, immersing themselves in the "floating life" of fishermen raising fish on the river. Entering the Cham village on the other side of the Chau Giang ferry, tourists also have the opportunity to learn about the unique brocade weaving craft of the Cham people and visit the mosque of the Cham Islam community.
About 30km from Chau Doc town, Tra Su cajuput forest is considered the most typical and unique natural habitat conservation area of the wetland ecosystem in the Mekong Delta. In the flood season, there is nothing more interesting than a boat trip through the forest to admire the pure white cajuput flowers blooming in the early morning sun, the lingering scent of cajuput. The most interesting are the "water roads" in Tra Su forest. In the flood season, the water covers the road surface but the cajuput trees on the roadside are still higher than the water surface, forming "water roads". Water fern covers the "road surface" with a green carpet, and the cajuput trees on both sides offer shade. Occasionally, the sound of oars, birds, and fish splashing disturbs the quiet space of the forest.
Colors of Long Xuyen floating market
Originally a wholesale market, specializing in providing agricultural products for Long Xuyen, Long Xuyen floating market is located on the Hau River, very close to the provincial capital of An Giang. This is one of the rare floating markets in the South that still retains the very primitive lifestyle of the Mekong Delta. Although not as large and bustling as Cai Rang floating market in Can Tho, when coming to Long Xuyen floating market, visitors still feel like they are immersing themselves in the simple lifestyle of the people here. During the peak flood season, "genuine flood season" products such as linh fish, water lilies, and sesban flowers... are sold on rowboats weaving through the market. This is a rare opportunity for visitors to admire up close, and capture the most genuine and vivid moments that the beauty of the flood season bestows.
Amazing Tram Chim
Located deep in the Tam Nong lowland, with a total area of 7,588 hectares, Tram Chim National Park (Dong Thap) is one of the eight most important bird conservation areas in Vietnam; and the world's 2,000th Ramsar site (wetland of international importance for biology and conservation). This is the last wetland grassland system in Vietnam, rich in biodiversity and famous for the red-crowned crane or naked-necked crane, one of the rare bird species listed in the international red book.
During the flood season, Tram Chim becomes an oasis in the middle of the vast sky and water. On the fields, thousands of white storks dot the cool green cajuput trees, creating a very impressive scene. Stepping up to the watchtower and looking out to the horizon, visitors seem to embrace the natural picture of a pure cool green color.
In addition, visitors will have interesting experiences when exploring Dong Sen Thap Muoi tourist area with the wild and beautiful scenery of immense lotus fields. Visitors can freely record romantic moments in the poetic and charming scenery with the vast space of lotus flowers stretching out. Or walk on wooden bridges made from hundreds of planks to create a unique path in the middle of the lotus fields.
