<\/span><\/h2>\nThose who visit Cam Thanh for the first time, the first impression is hard to fade most certainly the forest of hundreds of hectares of coconut. It stretches near Cua Dai and gives an impression as Mekong Delta in South Vietnam. The only difference between them is perhaps the means of transport used. In the Mekong delta, people travel on wooden boats, while visitors use basket boats (Thung chai) to go to the coconut forest in the Bay Mau forest. It is exciting while sitting in a basket boat weaving under coconut trees. You will also see the beautiful scenery of a rural water region that makes visitors feel interested in this place.<\/p>\n
The huge number of coconut trees was the result of South-Western immigrants. Thankfully, the natural condition of soil and water in Cam Thanh, Hoi An completely match the foreign tree, thus from just a small area of a few hectares, the area slowly grows into a dense and huge forest with space up to over 100 hectares. From generation to generation, the forest has been protected people in Cam Thanh villages from sea waves and become home to several kinds of aquatic species on this small island.<\/p>\n
