Lower U Minh National Park

Lower U Minh National Park spans 8,500 hectares across the districts of Tran Van Thoi and U Minh, featuring dense Melaleuca forests and peat swamps.

The Vietnamese government established Lower U Minh National Park in 2006 to protect the remaining Melaleuca forest ecosystems in the Mekong Delta region.

Local communities maintain traditional fishing and honey collection practices within designated areas of the park, following generations-old Vietnamese customs.

Visitors can access the park through guided tours that include boat rides through waterways and elevated walkways through the Melaleuca forest sections.

The park houses rare species including fishing cats, leopard cats, and pangolins that hunt in the peat swamp environment during nighttime hours.
