After a one-hour bus drive from HCMC, you will really begin your discovery tour by getting on board a boat for a journey through the winding canals and Vam Co Tay River to Dong Thap Muoi Center for medicinal herbs in Long An Province.
There, Nguyen Van Be, who is locally called Ba Be, tells you about the variety of herbs and plants he has grown for years as medicinal materials.
The center's director will accompany on a motor boat making your way through canals in the nearby 600-hectare mangrove forest in the alluvial swampy region. On top of this, storks, cormorants, spot-billed ducks and other birds fly out just above your head.
Truong Hoang Phuong, director of marketing at the tourism company Dau An Viet (Vietmark), which arranges the two-day tour, explains now is the time for birds from different parts to come in flocks to the mangroves for shelter during winter in their usual habitats.
