entry description
Ru Cha is the only primary forest on Tam Giang lagoon, belonging to Thuan Hoa village, Huong Phong commune, Huong Tra town. In the local language, "Ru" means forest, "Cha" refers to the tree species that occupies 90% of the area in the mangrove area. The tree has a shallow submerged root system, the hollow part becomes a shelter for the crabs. The forest is likened to a screen for the project, shielding the mainland in front of Thuan An sea. Ru Cha is also very beautiful, even in the dry leaf fall season, only the roots of typical mangrove trees or green young shoots remain.back to gallery
