Unique from the name

Ru Cha mangrove forest, also known as Ru Cha primeval mangrove forest – is the only remaining primeval mangrove forest on Tam Giang lagoon. Perhaps the first strong impression of this mangrove forest is its unique name: Ru Cha. At first glance, the name sounds wild, but also a little mysterious and ghostly. In the local language of Hue, “roar” here means mountain forest, and “cha” is the name of a tree that grows 90% of the area here. The name was also born from there, sounding like a country rustic, but very close and dear.

Road to Ru Cha Hue

Located only about 15km from the center of Hue, Ru Cha mangrove forest (in Thuan Hoa village, Huong Phong commune, Huong Tra town, Hue) is not too difficult to find. Starting from the center, you just need to run along National Highway 49 towards Thuan An beach, turn left across Tam Giang Bridge through Thao Long Dam to reach Ru Cha forest. From National Highway 49 overlooking Huong Phong commune, you will easily recognize the Ru Cha primeval forest because of the clusters of green palm trees that stand tall and intertwined.

The road to Ru Cha is a rough dirt road. This road is built high by people taking the land. On both sides of this path are rows of towering palm trees with a large root system firmly attached to the ground, intertwined palm branches intertwined to form a circular arc surrounding the road. Knitting trees and branches intertwined to create a cool green space. On the way there is no sun, only tiny streaks of sunlight shining through the leaves shining down in a shimmering way.
