Tan Lap Floating Village

Tan Lap Floating Village is an ecotourism site in Tan Lap Commune, Moc Hoa District, Tay Ninh Province (formerly Long An), within the Dong Thap Muoi wetland. Centered on a 135-hectare cajuput forest, it is notable for its 5 km elevated wooden walkway through the forest, 38-meter observation tower, seasonal flooded landscape, lotus ponds and diverse birdlife, offering insight into Mekong Delta wetland ecology.

Visitors can explore a flooded cajuput forest via a long elevated wooden walkway and by small rowing boats or motorboats through narrow forest canals. The site includes a 38-meter observation tower with panoramic views over the forest and wetlands, lotus and water lily ponds, birdwatching areas, and a visitor area with restaurant and rest facilities. The environment is tranquil, with dense cajuput trees, seasonal high water and natural wetland scenery.

Developed in the early 2000s as an ecotourism project to preserve and showcase the 135-hectare cajuput forest of the Dong Thap Muoi wetland, the site was opened to visitors around 2008 to promote conservation and sustainable tourism in the Mekong Delta floodplain.

Represents the wetland ecology and adaptation to seasonal flooding characteristic of the Dong Thap Muoi region, highlighting the role of cajuput forests in local biodiversity, traditional livelihoods and Mekong Delta natural heritage.
