During the September 2nd National Day holiday, Ru Cha in Hoa Chau Ward became a popular destination for local residents and visitors. The lush mangrove forest amid Tam Giang Lagoon, together with a community-based ecotourism model currently being piloted, has begun to enhance the destination’s appeal while opening up new livelihood opportunities for local residents.

Ru Cha mangrove forest stands quietly like a sentinel guarding Tam Giang - Cau Hai lagoon system. Through countless seasons of storms and heavy rains, the ancient Cha trees have remained firmly rooted in the soil, embracing the surrounding villages, blocking waves, trapping sediment, and sustaining the unique ecosystem of the lower reaches of the Perfume River.

On September 8th, the People’s Committee of Hoa Chau Ward held a working session with Tay Ho Investment and Finance Joint Stock Company on investment cooperation and the development of Ru Cha Ecotourism Site.

This is a rare mangrove forest that still exists on the Tam Giang lagoon system - the largest lagoon system in Southeast Asia.

Located around 15km away from Hue City Center, Ru Cha mangrove forest is one of the destinations attracting a great number of locals and tourists coming to check-in whenever it comes to Autumn season.
