To reach Bac Lieu Bird Sanctuary, you only need to travel about 3 kilometers from the city center via Cao Van Lau Street or Ninh Binh Road, then turn right over the Bird Sanctuary Bridge. The best time to visit is from May to October, during the birds' breeding season, when the area comes alive with chirping and hundreds of different tones.
Covering an area of 130 hectares, Bac Lieu Bird Sanctuary is a remnant of the coastal mangrove forest, home to over 100 bird species and approximately 60,000 individuals. It hosts many rare birds listed in Vietnam's and the world's Red Data Books, creating a rich ecosystem with 150 animal species and 109 plant species. Characteristic plants like date palms, mangroves, and others play a crucial role in providing habitats for the birds, where they build nests and reproduce.
Entering the sanctuary, you will be greeted by the vibrant colors of golden shower trees and other flowers like fragrant orchids and royal poinciana lining the path. Visitors can choose to walk, take an electric vehicle, or paddle a small boat to explore the beauty of the forest. The shaded paths make it easy to spot birds flying or hiding among the branches, observing each step of the visitors.
In the tall trees, heron and stork nests are laden with eggs and chicks, adding to the liveliness of the space. Whenever someone approaches, the mother birds will alert, while the chicks peep out curiously.
Climbing up the observation tower, you will be treated to a panoramic view of the enchanting southern landscape, with endless green forests and flocks of birds soaring through the sky. Especially if you visit the sanctuary early in the morning, you won’t forget the stunning sight of flocks of birds swooping down to the water in formation, resembling a morning exercise routine—an impressive spectacle.
At sunset, as the afternoon light fades, you will witness the sight of flocks of birds returning to their nests, forming beautiful formations that blend colors and species. This image not only allows you to appreciate the wonders of nature but also leaves unforgettable memories from your journey exploring Bac Lieu Bird Sanctuary.
With a combination of wild nature and unique experiences, Bac Lieu Bird Sanctuary truly is an ideal place for relaxation, exploration, and enjoying the beauty of its diverse ecosystem.
