Can Gio is a famous tourist attraction in Vietnam for its marvelous mangrove forest with 10 kilometers of murky shoreline. The palm-fringed island is a Unesco Biosphere Reservation with a wide range of biodiversity of more than 150 species of flora and 200 species of fauna. This can be a lovely day trip for those loving traffic-free and natural-close trips.
Can Gio is about 50 kilometers away from Ho Chi Minh City, which takes tourists about an hour to get there from most HCMC districts. Can Gio is among UNESCO listed biosphere reserve, so its main attraction is not a golden-sand beach like what tourists can see in Phu Quoc, Con Dao, and Nha Trang. But for adventure lovers, you can still find a large stretch of an untouched beach.
