Hello, travel community! My name is Khoa, I am currently a tour guide in Vietnam. I am very happy to get to know everyone. I feel very happy to share the beauty of my country through my travel articles. Over 2 years of the pandemic, things have become very difficult, for everyone, in which the tourism industry has suffered enormously. After the post-Covid pandemic, people's demand to travel increased, although the world economy in recent times has suffered great damage, due to pandemics and wars. I hope that the time is coming, everything will be better, and we will come back strong after a difficult time. In today's post, I want to share with everyone, that a very interesting place, with great experiences, will help you have experiences for your trip to Vietnam, someday.
The place that I want to introduce, in today's article, is Bay Mau coconut forest, located in Cam Thanh commune, Hoi An city, Quang Nam province. When mentioning Hoi An, many visitors will immediately think of Hoi An ancient town. An ancient city dating back hundreds of years, besides the old town, Hoi An city also has a place that many tourists visit and love which is Bay Mau coconut forest. The reason this place is named Bay Mau is that in the past there were only seven acres of coconut trees growing naturally, to this day, the number of coconut forests is more than 200 acres. Bay Mau coconut forest is located only about 8km from the centre of Hoi An ancient town, to the southeast. This place is also the last point of the Thu Bon river, before emptying into Cua Dai beach. Bay Mau coconut forest was formerly planted to combat mangroves and today, it has become one of a famous tourist destinations.
Bay Mau coconut forest is a brackish water area, which is the right condition for the development of nipa coconuts. When coming here, visitors will experience sightseeing by basket boats, each boat will carry from 2 to 4 people. The ticket price for visitors to visit the coconut forest by basket boat is from 200,000vnd, for 1 boat. An affordable price, but with a lot of interesting things. Visitors will be transported by local people to visit the coconut forest by basket boats. Each boat will follow the other, passing through the canopy of the coconut forest. Walking under the trees, visitors will be quite excited when the weather is quite cool and fresh.
After visiting the coconut forest, visitors will be transported by boat drivers to the middle of the Thu Bon River, and the basket boats will be gathered in the middle of the river. There will be performances of cultural performances of indigenous people. The most popular game among tourists is the spinning boat game, the boats will be rotated by the boatman, and visitors must hold on to the boat so as not to fall out of the boat, it looks quite dangerous. But everything is very safe.
In addition, there is a performance by local fishermen, the fishing nets will be released by the fishermen to catch fish. In the nets, visitors will catch schools of anchovies, a typical fish, to make bottles of pure fish sauce. Fish sauce is a popular dipping sauce, in the dishes of Vietnamese people, you can enjoy it in most restaurants.
