Can Gio Beach Viet Nam 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.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"II_Best_time_to_visit_Can_Gio_Beach_Viet_Nam\"><\/span>II.

If you want to go against the trend to enjoy a quiet trip, this time is perfect, since you have a wider accommodation alternative and a smaller price to pay.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Autumn_From_September_to_November\"><\/span>3.

Generally, you have three options as follows:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_By_Bus\"><\/span>1. By Bus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you start from HCMC, take a bus from Ben Thanh Market to Nha Be. At the end of that route, you will reach the Binh Khanh Ferry Terminal. From there, you will travel by ferry to cross the Nha Be River to take the second bus to get to Can Gio Beach Viet Nam. This is a hard trip so we do not recommend family with little kids or elders people to choose this kind of transportation.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_By_private_van\"><\/span>2. By private van<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With a private van, your route will be exactly the same, but of course, you do not need to change your means of transportation, wait for the bus to arrive or to go back to HCMC. Therefore, we highly recommend tourists to have experts plan the whole trip for you.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_By_motorbike\"><\/span>3. By motorbike<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For tourists who travel alone, taking a motorbike is the easiest way to enjoy the view as well as get to Can Gio Beach Viet Nam. The route is quite similar to the one you take with a bus, but you will need the assistant of Google Maps and follow the precautions for driving a motorbike in Vietnam.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IV_Top_attractions_in_Can_Gio_Beach_Viet_Nam\"><\/span>IV.

Just over 30 kilometers past the ferry terminal, on the right of the main road, the island is actually a sanctuary, home to more than hundreds of wild and unafraid monkeys. Why unafraid? On this island, money far outnumber humans, therefore you will see that they are everywhere and these animals are aware of that too, so they become a bunch of cheeky thieves. You need to keep an eye on your belongings, especially things that are shiny like jewelry or sunglasses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We do not recommend that you pay for the animal circus here with bears, dogs, and monkeys starring in each and every dangerous act since the circus is strongly criticized by animal rights activists and organizations for their cruel living conditions and training sections.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8321\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8321\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8321 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/can-gio-hcm2-e1579865912877.jpg\" alt=\"Can Gio Beach Viet Nam: Breath-taking place for a summer escape\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8321\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Source: Lux Travel DMC<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can also enjoy a motorboat ride on the waterway to explore the one and only Rung Sat Special Zone, also known as the Forest of Assassins &#8211; a mistranslation during the Vietnam War. The trip is absolutely a highlight when you can discover everything, from the reconstructed base since the War to American bombs relics. You can also see a strange farm: crocodile farms, wildlife museums with archaeological finds and even local war displays.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Duyen_Hai_area\"><\/span>2.

Caodaism is Vietnam\u2019s religion, which is a mixture of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, and Christianity. You can see the harmony of these religions in the temple\u2019s architecture and their regular rituals. Each Caodainist is dressed according to their role. For example, followers wear white while priests\u2019 coat is in yellow, blue or red, symbolling Buddhism, Taoism, and Christianity respectively.

It is no exaggeration to say that this beach is a green oasis for urban citizens to come and chill after a long week in the bustling city of Saigon. With its 8 kilometers of pristine seawater, many tourists may feel disappointed seeing that the sand here is totally black &#8211; but wait, it is not because of pollution, but the special geographical condition of the beach here making the sand darker.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8330\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8330\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8330 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/66647697_2418254924933079_8099929999639960055_n-e1579869633166.jpg\" alt=\"Can Gio Beach Viet Nam: Breath-taking place for a summer escape\" width=\"750\" height=\"547\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8330\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Source: Instagram @leeshin_photos<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can care free playing on the beach, having some picnic with family or swimming in the crystal clear water here.

Located 12 kilometers to the North of Money Island, Vam Sat is worth a visit for its all activities here which can only be approached by boat or canoe. This place is known for crab and crocodile fishing, as well as Dam Doi (Bat Swamp), the habitat of many kinds of storks and fruit bats. Also, if you want to have a bird view of the place, Tam Bong tower with 26 meters in height will be a perfect choice.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8331\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8331\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8331 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/can-gio-hcm-e1579869874336.jpg\" alt=\"Can Gio Beach Viet Nam: Breath-taking place for a summer escape\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8331\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Source: Lux Travel DMC<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are a lot of things that tourists can do and see here, making Vam Sat Mangrove Forest fantastic for a day trip from Ho Chi Minh city<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Hai_Duong_Market\"><\/span>5.

Whale temple (Lang Ong Thuy Tuong\/ Ca Ong mausoleum)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ca Ong is a mutual Vietnamese name for all kinds of huge fish like sharks and whales. In Vietnam, fishermen worship these kinds of fish for the belief that they are very powerful and can affect their trip on the ocean (which, they indeed can). So when a body of these fish appear at the shore, they will build a temple to worship and pray for safety and prosperity before and after every trip.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8339\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8339\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8339 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/67981421_885558285159044_8293646377861948094_n-1-e1579875578454.jpg\" alt=\"Can Gio Beach Viet Nam: Breath-taking place for a summer escape\" width=\"750\" height=\"937\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8339\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Source: Instagram @nhantranhuu_<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The famous whale temple is the place to display a 17 meters long whale skeleton.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Every year on the 1sr and 15th of the August on Lunar calendar, the locals will organize a \u201cNghinh Ong Thuy Tuong\u201d &#8211; a festival to pray for safety and lucky for fishing trips as well as the protection of the Whale while they are on the ocean.
