Rú Chá mangrove forest is inherently beautiful because of its wild and rustic features. This time when the forest is in autumn, the scenery becomes even more charming by the yellow color of the forest canopy changing leaves.


Coming to Rú Chá in this season, visitors stroll under the arches of Chá trees, breathe cool air from the sea breeze, grass. Under the mangrove forest is wearing autumn colors from yellow to red. Just raise the camera, any corner can produce shimmering "virtual life" photos.

In particular, Rú Chá is the only remaining primeval mangrove forest on the Tam Giang lagoon system, the largest lagoon system in Southeast Asia.
