Tra Su Cajuput Forest

Mekong Delta Region

Trà Sư Cajuput Forest, located in the Mekong Delta's An Giang province, is a unique ecological site characterized by its flooded melaleuca forest ecosystem. Established in 1983 on acidic, barren land, it was planted with melaleuca trees to restore greenery and control flooding. Covering 845 hectares, the forest hosts a remarkable array of wildlife including 70 bird species, some rare like the painted stork and Oriental darter, 11 mammal species including the rare short-eared fruit bat, as well as diverse reptiles, amphibians, fish, and over 140 plant species. The forest's waterways, lined with towering melaleuca trees, offer serene boat tours, especially enchanting during the flood season from September to November when water levels rise. A highlight is Vietnam's longest bamboo bridge, the "Ten Thousand Steps Bamboo Bridge," stretching over 10 kilometers and constructed from more than 500,000 bamboo stalks. As a protected landscape area since 2003 and an ecotourism site since 2018, Trà Sư combines conservation with visitor experience, drawing nature lovers and photographers with its tranquil beauty and rich biodiversity.
