Tra Su spans nearly 850 hectares. Located approximately 250 kilometers from Ho Chi Minh City, Tra Su is nestled in Van Giao Commune, Tinh Bien District, An Giang Province.
It plays a crucial role in regulating the water environment and climate across the region.
This dynamic eco-destination is traversed by a four-km bamboo bridge. Visitors can take motorboat tours, and engage in unique wildlife activities and experiences.
The area has been developed into a sanctuary for a variety of rare and exotic birds and wildlife native to the Mekong Delta, making it an integral part of Vietnam's special-use forest system.

Local guides steer boats through meandering waterways, taking tourists into the center of the forest. As you glide along, you'll witness birds perched on tree trunks and vibrant lotus blossoms in many hues.
The Tra Su cajuput forest also enjoys the distinction of being featured in the film "Southern Forest Land," directed by Nguyen Quang Dung, which recently premiered in Vietnam.
