One of the largest tourist sites in the Mekong Delta, the 1,700-ha Gao Giong Ecotourist Park is an area of natural beauty and tranquility.
The park offers visitors the chance to relax in hammocks under the shade of cajuput trees or to catch fish from nearby canals. Tourists can also take a quiet stroll through the woods or climb a watchtower standing 18 m tall for a spectacular panoramic view of the area.Boat trips are also available in a sampan, a type of rowboat. Guided sampan tours last around 45 minutes accompanied by a female guide wearing a traditional ao ba ba (a type of blouse). Tourists can try rowing the boat themselves.Situated about 20 km from Cao Lanh Town, Gao Giong becomes a "green oasis" from August until October every year when the Mekong River floods the region. People visiting the park at this time will experience this unique weather and have an opportunity to enjoy specialties such as ca linh (a species of freshwater fish).
