Ru Cha is the only primary forest on Tam Giang Lagoon. In the local language, "rú" means forest, "chá" refers to a species of tree occupying 90% of the area in the mangrove area. The tree has shallow roots, acting as a front line, shielding the mainland in front of Thuan An beach. (Photo: Bao Moi) |
