PANO – Taking a boat tour of Tra Su cajuput forest in Van Giao commune, Tinh Bien district, An Giang province, travellers will find themselves disappear in the lush green colour of the cajuputs rising above the water hyacinths. The deeper the visitors travel into the forest, the quieter it gets. All that can be heard are the clapping of the oars and the chirps of thousands of storks nesting on the cajuput trees.
