Ca Mau is the southernmost province in the country. It is endowed by nature with an abundant source of seafood, vast green forests of cajeputs and mangrove trees, large rivers and pristine beautiful natural scenery. These are the resources that benefit the economic and tourist development of the province.
Exploring Ca Mau Province
From Ca Mau City, we started our journey to discover the southernmost land of the country. Situated in the centre of the city is the imposing Victory Monument which demonstrates the typical strength of the land and people of Ca Mau. We went through calm streets with simple and peaceful houses lying near the banks of the river and visited boat-building workshops and busy markets where many typical specialties of the sea and orchard gardens were sold.
Talking about Ca Mau is to refer to a pristine natural land with immense forests of mangrove and cajuput trees, vast rivers and canals and specific cultural characteristics that no other places have.
Ca Mau has eight rivers that run through the province, forming large estuaries with over 7,000km of rivers and canals, creating the unique beauty of a watery area and diverse culinary specialties. This is a treasure that brings advantages to Ca Mau to develop a tourism industry with specific characteristics.
From Ca Mau City we went towards the western coast and soon reached the Lower U Minh National Park. We climbed to Vong Lam Dai where looking down we saw green mangrove forests in the four directions. The Lower U Minh National Park is considered as a “green lung” of the southwest. It is also the habitation of many species of birds, animals and aquatic creatures. The most attractive thing to visitors to this area is to eat grilled snakehead and follow the local people to go into the mangrove forests to prepare the places for the honey bees to make their nests.
In Tran Van Thoi District, which is not far from the Lower U Minh National Park, there is the Hon Da Bac Tourist Site which is about 180 million years old. This beautiful site looks like a water-colour painting with high mountains mingling with the sea and sky.
We followed the path winding through the rice fields and reached Song Doc Town where boats carrying fish and shrimp are coming in and out throughout the day. Coming to Song Doc, visitors can not only contemplate the vast sea but also learn about the unique cultural feature of the local people, most typically the Lang Ong Nam Hai Festival, a traditional festival of the southernmost coastal residents.
 Ca Mau Province People’s Committte Chairman Pham Thanh Tuoi « Ca Mau will comprehensively invest in the socio-economic development, change the appearance of the urban and rural areas, give priority to solving unemployment and housing problems and improve the material and spiritual life of its people. » |
