U Minh Forest runs along the Trèm Trẹm, Cái Tàu, and Đốc rivers, divided into two parts: Upper U Minh (Kiên Giang) and Lower U Minh in Cà Mau province. The Lower U Minh mangrove forest covers a total area of 35,000 hectares. The ecological terrain of the brackish mangrove forest, with 6 months of flooding and 6 months of dryness, makes it a large biosphere reserve in the world, featuring a diverse range of rare flora and fauna.
Experience the tranquility of gliding in a boat along the river, letting your soul merge with the sounds of water and rustling leaves. Admire the simple, rustic thatched-roof houses of the locals, or drift along the crisscrossing channels to truly appreciate the untouched beauty of this part of our homeland.
Visiting U Minh Garden, interacting with the honest and sincere locals, joining them in fishing or relaxing under the shade of the mangrove trees, will leave indelible marks in your journey.
