Cao Lãnh, which is one of Vietnam Popular Destinations, it just takes 157km from Ho Chi Minh City to Cao Lãnh province. At there, I had a nice eco picnic on weekend. There are two ways to come to Gáo Giồng forest, I choose the easier way even it is longer the shortcut which is go through the forest. In my opinion, my choice was correct; the road is cover by two straight trees which is very beautiful.

When you see the gravel road, it is the road come to Gào Giồng ecotourism. The entrance fee is only 10,000VND; you might take a cup of tea, eat the lotus seeds, watch the resort trailer and go fishing which are totally free. I stayed at the entrance gate for more than 30 minutes, then buying one ticket for boat tripping. Each boat has a tourist guide’s girl who will take you to the Sân Chim (Birds’ Garden), but I choose sailing boat by myself due to I had done it many times before.
