The diverse fauna and flora make it ideal for scientific research, ecological tourism and rejuvenation.



A sanctuary away from vehicle noise and exhaust, millions of trees send oxygen back into the atmosphere, one of the reasons why it is recognized as a world salt-marsh biosphere reserve.



Visitors can enjoy fishing, cruising, watching wildlife, walking on bamboo bridges and tasting the local specialties.



The tour starts with a hired motorboat at Dan Xay Bridge accompanied by female guides in traditional costumes. The boat follows the canals under the tree canopy.
