Located in the southernmost tip of Vietnam, Cà Mau is one of the core cities in the Mekong Delta, famous for its unique wetland ecology and the "End of Vietnam" landscape. It is home to Vietnam's largest mangrove reserve, rich in biodiversity and an ideal destination for bird watching and eco-tourism. The economy is based on fishing and agriculture (e.g. rice, fruits), and the seafood industry supports the livelihood of the local people as shrimps and crabs are abundant in the coastal areas. The iconic Ca Mau Kok Lighthouse is where visitors can enjoy the magnificent sunset over the South China Sea. As the "extreme south" of Vietnam, Ca Mau is an important stop for exploring the charms of the Mekong Delta, with its natural wilderness and cultural heritage.
