Local Attractions

No stay in Đồng Tháp is complete without a visit to Tràm Chim National Park, 45 minutes from the hotel. This 7,500-hectare wetland sanctuary is one of the best places in the Mekong to spot the rare and endangered sarus crane, as well as over 200 other bird species, wild water buffalo, and native lotus fields. Visitors explore the park by wooden boat through narrow reed-lined canals, stopping at walking trails for closer wildlife viewing.

Just 20 minutes from the hotel in central Cao Lãnh, the Gao Giong Historical Relic Site celebrates Vietnam’s anti-colonial resistance movement. Set among lush rice paddies, the open-air site features preserved bunkers, a museum with historical artifacts, and guided tours that share the story of local guerilla fighters during the French war, offering a fascinating look into southern Vietnam’s modern history.

For a taste of local rural life, visit Xẻo Quýt Tourist Village, 30 minutes from the hotel. This cultural eco-village lets visitors join local farmers to harvest fruit from orchards, fish in the Mekong’s tributaries, weave traditional rattan crafts, and eat home-cooked Mekong-style meals made with fresh, local ingredients.

Travel Tips

If you plan to explore Tràm Chim, visit early in the morning between 6 AM and 9 AM when cranes are most active and temperatures are cool, and ask the hotel front desk to arrange a shared shuttle to cut down on transportation costs. Bring insect repellent for all wetland visits, as mosquitoes are common year-round. For the best local food experience, walk 10 minutes from the hotel to the night market
