| SAM MOUNTAIN |
 From Long Xuyen, one has to travel almost 60 km to get to Sam
Mountain which lies west of Chau Doc, at approximately 2 km from the
frontier between Vietnam and Cambodia.
The 230m high mountain does not only offer beautiful landscapes, but
it is also where many historic remains deeply loved by the
inhabitants of Nam Bo plain are located.
Ba Chua Xu Temple, Tay An Pagoda, Thoai Ngoc Hau Tomb, Tao Ngo
Garden, and Bach Van Hill are among the famous sites to visit near
Sam Mountain.

| TAM NONG BIRD
SANCTUARY |
| Tam Nong Bird Sanctuary, in Dong Thap Province, covers 8,000 ha
and includes 53 km of paths.
 Here, visitors can observe red-headed cranes, one of 15
endangered species of crane in the world. In fact, the birds
have played an important role in history.
Thousands of years ago, images of cranes were used in the
interior decoration of European aristocratic houses. In the
Orient, cranes were and still are worshipped as examples of
faithfulness and national longevity.
Different from any other species of bird in the area, they
find their food only on land; they must therefore migrate to
avoid the rainy season in Dong Thap Muoi. They stay in Tam
Nong Bird Sanctuary from December to June. |
