What you need to know
Tam Giang Lagoon is part of a 22,000-hectare system. The water here has a special brackish structure due to the mixing of river and sea currents, which makes local shrimp and oysters top-grade delicacies.
Key spots to visit:
- Rú Chá Mangrove Forest: 5 hectares of pristine nature where almost the entire space is occupied by Chá trees.
- Thai Duong Ha Bridge: The best spot for observing fishermen using traditional round nets.
- Quang Loi Village: The main hub for renting boats and immersing yourself in the daily life of locals.
The best time to visit with clear skies and calm water. Ideal for morning boat rides and observing fishing. Avoid the period from October to December due to monsoon rains.
