55km far from Long Xuyên city to the west, Tân Tuyến cajuput forest will welcome us with a green carpet of caaajuput with an area of ​​more than 1,600 hectares. This place used to be a training base for defending water fields in the flood season, a path through the forest by a winding plank bridge, a field base with a smokeless Hòang Cầm kitchen for military purposes “Walk without mark, speak without sound, cook without smoke” will be an interesting and attractive destination for us to visit.

In the flood season, Tân Tuyến cajuput forest has a unique natural landscape. Although there are not many common seban flowers or green duckweed carpets as in Tra Su, there are fields of water lilies that grow naturally, brilliant golden eardrums, blooming lotus ponds with green rice fields... All things will bring the feeling of friendly and natural.
