Cần Giờ, Coastal rural district in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
The Cần Giờ district spans 704 square kilometers of coastal territory with dense mangrove forests and 69 distinct islands within its boundaries.
The district was under Khmer Empire control before Vietnamese influence arrived in the late 17th century during the expansion of the Nguyen dynasty.
The Can Gio Museum displays exhibits about the region's transformation from agricultural land to aquaculture center through artifacts and historical documents.
Visitors can reach the district by bus from the 23/9 station near Ben Thanh Market or rent motorcycles to explore the area independently.
The Vam Sat Nature Reserve protects rare wildlife species within the largest naturally regenerated mangrove forest in the world.
