This is the historic coordinate and the most sacred check-in point that anyone coming to Ca Mau must visit first. The GPS 0001 landmark is solidly built, simulating a stylized six-pointed star placed on a firm round concrete base. You should choose a frontal shooting angle to capture the entire landmark and the clear blue sky behind it.

2. The Ship Symbol of Ca Mau Cape

The symbolic work of a ship full of wind reaching out to the sea, with a sacred inscription on the sail: "CA MAU CAPE - 8°37'30'' NORTH LATITUDE, 104°43' EAST LONGITUDE IS VIETNAM'S TERRITORIAL WATERS". This is an incredibly beautiful sunset viewing spot. Taking a backlit silhouette photo in the late afternoon will create an extremely artistic masterpiece.

5. Wooden bridge through the mangrove forest

Located in the core zone of the National Park, the rustic wooden walkway winding under the canopy of ancient mangrove trees is a virtual living paradise for those who love natural styles. A natural walking posture on the bridge or sitting leaning on the wooden railing looking at the forest will bring a very nostalgic feeling.

6. The mudflat at sunset

When the tide recedes, the vast sandy mudflat appears, creating water wave patterns reflecting the evening light. Choose a low camera angle close to the water surface of the mudflat to capture the shimmering reflection of the distant mangrove forests.

7. Mangrove Forest Observation Deck (Vong Canh Tower)

Climb to the top floor of the wooden observation tower for a 360-degree panoramic view from above. You will capture a unique photo with the winding blue river bisecting two endless green mangrove carpets embracing the coast.

9. Sitting on a "vo lai" boat gliding through the forest

When joining the experience of taking a vo lai through the forest, ask your companion to take a shot from behind your back pointing straight to the bow of the boat gliding between the rows of mangrove trees on both banks.

10. Check-in with the Ca Mau steamed crab specialty

Not only the scenery, but cuisine is also an interesting check-in angle. A plate of bright red steamed Ca Mau crab with firm meat delicately arranged on a rustic wooden dining table by the river will surely make your personal page very attractive.
