Seven Mau Coconut Forest

Hoi An has long been familiar to tourists through its ancient and nostalgic streets, however, Hoi An is not only that, and Bay Mau Coconut Forest is also one of the famous places that attracts many tourists. Travel by wild beauty, fresh air.

The reason why the coconut forest is called Bay Mau is because in the past, this forest only had an area of about 7 acres, all coconuts here grew naturally. Today, for the purpose of developing tourism activities, the forest area has increased to more than 100 acres, but people still keep the name Bay Mau, because it is too familiar to locals and tourists. .

During the war years, Bay Mau Coconut Forest was one of the important bases of our army and people. Thanks to the special discreet terrain, easy to hide and counterattack, Bay Mau Coconut Forest has made an important contribution to the victories of our army. The most prominent battle was in 1948, when the French colonialists used heavy equipment such as tanks to attack the forest to sweep and destroy all our forces. However, thanks to familiarity with the terrain, our troops organized a secret attack, threw grenades, causing the enemy to panic and turn around. Realizing the danger of the coconut forest, the enemy has organized several times to clear the entire forest so that we have no place to hide, but because this is brackish water suitable for the development of coconuts, only a short time. After that, the forest was green again, accompanying our soldiers.

Although the defenses of our people are no longer present, Bay Mau Coconut Forest is still there and is the place to mark the heroic feats of our army and people in the resistance wars.
