Tra Su Cajuput Forest

A flooded cajuput forest carpeted in lush green duckweed — a waterbird paradise of the Mekong Delta.

A small sampan parts the water gently, carrying you into a magical green world. The water is blanketed with tender green duckweed like a velvet carpet, framed on both sides by cajuput trees mirrored in the surface. Flocks of white storks and waterbirds fill the sky, their chirping echoing through the air. Tra Su is a quintessential flooded forest of the western Hau River region, a place of rich biodiversity and surprisingly serene scenery. Drifting in a boat through the cajuput forest during flood season is an unforgettable experience of the Mekong Delta.
