- Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve - Mangroves are the most prominent plants on Can Gio Island. These plants thrive in brackish waters, such as estuaries. Their unique stilt root structure allows them to absorb oxygen and nutrients from the tides. Mangroves not only protect shorelines from erosion but also provide a habitat for numerous marine creatures, some of which are economically beneficial to the local community.
There are two ways to explore the mangrove forest: by road or by boat. Visitors can stroll along winding paths under the shade of countless mangroves or take a small boat through the canals to explore every corner of the forest. The peaceful atmosphere and fresh air offer a refreshing experience for all tourists visiting Can Gio Mangrove Forest.
