Kang Zyo Reserve

Kan Zio is a unique biosphere reserve known for its mangrove forests.

The area of Kan Zyo is 75740 hectares. The reserve is sometimes called the "lungs" of Ho Chi Minh City, as it is the only major forest area near the city.

Kan Zio began forming in 1978. In 1992 it was declared a national park.

The territory of the reserve is crossed by many river channels. Among the mangroves of the reserve are oysters, crabs and shellfish, and on land you can see many birds, reptiles and mammals. Also on the territory of the reserve lives a special species of crocodile, which is typical only for South Vietnam. Tourists can feed crocodiles from a fishing rod, standing on a special raft.

Excursions take place along the Saigon River to Kan Zio on a passenger ship departing from the Bak Dang Embankment.
