Reputation of the hero From the pier in Tam Thon Hiep commune, Can Gio district, we followed a canoe to the headquarters of Division 1 – a forest protection unit belonging to the Can Gio Mangrove Management Board (MB). In the midst of the immense water waves, talent Nguyen Hoang Phi, an employee of Can Gio Mangrove Management Board, skillfully allowed a canoe to turn the waves of Long Tau River towards the Dua River, soaring. The wind winds all four sides, taking a full breath, it feels like all the freshness, freshness of the sea, the green forest is going deep into the chest. Belonging to the next generation, he has never held a gun to fight in fierce war days, but when it comes to Rung Sac, Phi can never stop talking. Just right on the Long Tau river, he proudly: “This is a” graveyard “buried hundreds of enemy warships, including many military transport ships with a tonnage of tens of thousands of tons. Come is the river that contributes to the honor of the heroic Rung Sac “. The Standing Deputy Secretary of Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee Tran Luu Quang planted a souvenir tree at Rung Sac Square on April 27, on the occasion of the People’s Committee of the city announcing the Prime Minister’s decision to recognize Can Gio district meeting the new rural standard. 2020 Photo: HOANG Trieu In order to decipher this strategic position, in order to block the enemy’s military supply path, protect our supply forces, on April 15, 1966, the Regional Command decided to establish the Special Forest Military Zone. Sac (later renamed to Group 10 Special Forces of Rung Sac). Since then, Rung Sac is within the range of enemy destruction. Can Gio Mangrove Management Board is managing and protecting 34,713.64 ha of forest and forestry land, of which forest area accounts for 32,446.44 ha; allotted forest protection to 133 households and 11 units. Anh Phi said that in the early years of the resistance war against the US, the forest was dense with trees. But from 1964 onwards, more than 4 million liters of chemicals, 2 million tons of bombs and ammunition of the enemy fell down to devastate, making Rung Sac almost bare. The special mission combatants Rung Sac fell into poverty in the middle of the wild. However, thanks to the “natural la geotung” map with a series of canals, forest trees form favorable walls for guerrilla tactics, shielding our troops from the eyes of the enemy, along with our products. Heaven bestowed and the warfare inherent in the people, Rung Sac base was still not wavering. Residents of the forest After half an hour of floating, the canoe took us to Division 1 headquarters. It was a grade 4 house built on a triangular islet in Tam Thôn Hiệp commune overlooking the Dua River, surrounded by marshland. drown. This is the workplace and living place of 4 officers, employees, managers of 14 households and 28 employees of the subdivision. Mr. Tran Van Ho, Head of Division 1, picked us up and took us around the headquarters. What caught our eyes was the simple leaf kitchen, full of black pots and pans. Mr. Ho pointed to a wood stove hidden in the corner, and said that in the first wave, this wind was very rare. To save money, people only use firewood for cooking. In Can Gio forest, green vegetables are also precious because the soil here is almost completely acidic. If you want to grow vegetables, you need to invest in soil, manure and fresh water from the shore. However, the most precious is still fresh water. Only the rainwater tanks located around the Division 1 headquarters, Mr. Ho explained: “The water here is 120,000 VND / block, but sometimes there are boats changing. Therefore, the subdivision is equipped with these tanks to catch the water. rain water used. Many households around, when the water runs out, often stop by and ask, whoever wants to scoop as much as possible “. Telephone waves in Rung Sac are “luxury”. Where the waves can be caught, the forest guard leaves the phone “catchy” like this. Photo: TUYET TRINH Seeing that on a number of pillars in the kitchen where there are many horizontal plastic bottles, we asked curiously, Mr. Ho replied: “This is the phone holder to … catch the signal”. It turns out, not only lack of necessities, but also the telephone signal here is a “luxury”. Where you can catch the phone signal, you tie up bottles like this to mark it. Lack of and many things, Mr. Ho has been sticking to the forest for more than 20 years. “So attached, now I no longer think about going ashore looking for another job. Getting acquainted with the muddy smell, the taste of salty water here and I can not leave,” – he said, his eyes dazed. up steadiness, steadfastness. Mr. Ho took us to visit the people of the second generation who are continuing their parents to protect and preserve Sac Forest. The first place we visited was the family of Mr. Nguyen Hoang Phien – brother of Phi, the leader of Division 1 Self-Management Group. Session said that his father, Mr. Nguyen Van No, was one of the 10 first forest keepers in Rung Sac. In 2012, Phien succeeded his father, “partly due to a difficult family and unable to go to school; a part has attached blood and flesh to each tree, the wave of when my brothers were in a hurry to practice speaking” . The session emphasized that the most important job of contracted households here is forest patrol. Mr. Phien’s family is managing 109 hectares, on average, each month, he patrols 20-30 times regardless of day and night, including traveling alone and with self-management team. Patrols must be done regularly to promptly detect if forest loggers or wildlife have appeared. Leaving Mr. Phien’s house, we went to the forest post of Mr. Tran Minh Tung’s family. Canoes run in the middle of the immense Sac Forest, Mr. Ho shows us how to distinguish fish, mangrove, tiger, parrot … covered like “roofs”. In more than 32,447 hectares of forest today, there are over 60 species of plants, each having its own role in the “war” with the sea. He said: “In it, mangroves play the role of reinforcing the battlefield, because with the intricate roots, the tall and wide foliage, it can retain what is most necessary that water has brought to the earth”. Launching our eyes around, we were very pleased with the blue landscape. It is hard to imagine this is a land that once suffered from enemy bombs and chemical toxins decades ago. The green color of the forest has covered all traces of the war, making it difficult for visitors to imagine this is a land once destroyed by bombs. Talking about the revival of this dead land, it must be mentioned the efforts of tens of thousands of people from all over the districts of Saigon – Ho Chi Minh City, the core of the youth volunteer force has poured in here to plant trees and rejuvenate. forest creation. Among those people was Mrs. Dinh Thi Hong, the mother of Mr. Tran Minh Tung. Like the Phi – Phien brothers, Tung also had a childhood associated with Rung Sac – Can Gio. When he was a child, he went with his mother to plant forests. Growing up, thanks to planting forests, he met his wife today. Later, he and his wife stayed in Can Gio, replacing their mother to keep the forest. In the afternoon, the canoe took us back to the pier. The sudden beating in the deep water made us startled because we remembered the stories about the water in the past where many crocodiles were hiding and stalking this person. In the forest there are many dangers, poor living conditions. However, the residents that we have met or known through the story have never intended to leave the forest to live on shore. Many people stick to their parents’ career, others – like Tung and his wife – are unable to leave a peaceful life thanks to being surrounded by mother nature here. “We stick wherever we go, we can do everything together. That is happy enough” – Mr. Tung expressed. In the distance, looking at the identical mangrove forests that have opened up the direction of ecotourism development for Can Gio, we again silently thank the residents of Rung Sac who have been sticking to this day. The most fear is deforestation At night, driving a motorboat to patrol and guard the forest, there are all kinds of dangers waiting for unarmed people like Nguyen Hoang Phien if they accidentally face a logger or a wild beast. We asked Phien if he was afraid, he laughed: “The most fearful thing is the loss of the forest”. “In the past, following my father to the forest, I have many times encountered loggers and” lash out “on the river. Later, due to good propaganda and awareness raising for the people, there is no longer a phenomenon. cutting trees, deforestation “- Mr. Phien said.

Steamed sea bass in Hong Kong at a wedding restaurant on Kha Van Can Street, Thu Duc City Seabass is a ‘large’, salty fish (can live in fresh, brackish and salty water) but has a narrow temperature (can not live in water with high temperature fluctuations). In Saigon, when it comes to seabass – a species of white and pink fish – gourmets think of Can Gio immediately. Yes, it is the brackish water area that is rich in natural seabass. But the seabass Can Gio is not equal to the Ca Mau seabass. Ca Mau is rich in brackish water, making the fish as australian as the British model Tess Munster (Holliday). I have the opportunity to see close-up people catching seabass in Rung Sac Ecotourism Area, Can Gio. The site’s scouring service allows visitors to wade into the water to catch fish such as seabass, brown fish, mackerel, etc. Before that time the tour operator scattered piles of scrubs of aquatic things. For a while, the fish gathered to live in the scrub. Visitors come, the tour operator allows staff to cover the net in the scrub and visitors get inside the net to experience the fishing. But brown fish and seabass pose a lot of risks to catchers who are not accustomed to them. The brown fish’s fins are hard, stabbed into the hand, causing terrible pain. With seabass, in addition to the fins, the gills are also sharp, which can cause long cuts for the catcher. Later, when the natural source was scarce, in addition to the annual release of fingerlings in the sea as mentioned above, people also know how to raise this fish from wild seed. Up to now, Can Gio also has places that provide seabass services for the anglers. Consumers do not worry about lack of seabass on the table. However, the world’s consumers’ environmental awareness is increasing; they want the full story of what they consume – from a sustainability, humanistic and nutritional standpoint. Seabass is an option that meets that opinion. In many places, barramundi products are brought to the table with the rate of raising a finished fish is only one fish, compared to the past, the rate of fish loss to farmed fish was high; was condemned. But this awareness does not exist in the seabass farms in Vietnam. Wild seabass usually congregate in estuaries during the rainy season to release sperm and eggs on the day of the full moon and new moon when the tides are most active. The ‘old fishermen’ are very familiar with their behavior, choosing these times to set up sentences. Males are usually smaller than females, because when they are about 3 – 5 years old, they are males, when they reach 5-6 years old, they turn into females, about 80cm long. Seabass went into literature with two poems called the silver fisherman Lu Khe by Mac Thien Tu. An article in Chinese characters in the book Ha Tien Thap Vinh; an article in Nôm in the episode Hà Tiên Cross Cause of the Bay. Lu Khe is the name of a slot of water flowing into the sea. Lu means sea bass – also known as seabass. Seabass can do all kinds of dishes. Anything is not bad. In the past, down to Can Gio, restaurants often introduced sea bass to cook hot pot. But if the fire can’t be controlled, this dish won’t taste good on the meat. Only the sewing head is attractive thanks to the fat. The dish that the wedding reception restaurants often put in is the steamed seabass in Hong Kong. The name of the dish sounded a bit of national pride, as if the Vietnamese did not know how to steam. In this steamed dish, in addition to the fresh seabass that cleans the intestines, it fits a four-inch long plate of mango seeds, there must be plenty of carrots, onions, green onions, seeded chili, all chopped. Spices create coriander and ginger flavors. At the core of it is a delicious, solid soy sauce mixed with cold water. In fact, the meat of the fish just fits a four-inch textured plate that is not tough enough to satisfy the taste of Vietnamese people. Only the seabass caught in the wild weighing a few kilograms or more, which steamed like that, then rolled the rice paper, dipped in special fish sauce, was called excellent. If you want to taste small, only use the method of crispy skin. In this dish, in addition to purple onion, ginger, garlic, dill, there is also turmeric powder and especially Indian garam masal powder (sold at seasoning stores) stir-fried with spinach. Westerners “like the tongue” even more because this dish also has coconut milk added to the stir-fry mixture above. The fish meat is cut into fillets, cut into pieces, fried over medium heat and turned the skin down towards the pan until the skin is golden. The meat texture will now shrink and chewier than steaming soy sauce. Finished fried fish, mixed rice with spices vegetables, spinach, considered as satisfying the taste of the person. Fragrant and fatty again with coconut milk ever since. But seabass, if determined to be caught in the sea – a fish that wants to change the sex must go to the sea or is a fish that only lives in the sea – can make sashimi fish salad with mustard sauce. At this time, the sweetness of the fresh fish meat resonates with the acidity to make the re-fish in mustard mixed with soy sauce and lemon juice, increasing the umami. Mustard sticks on the nose and tears spring up, but the sweet and fleshy fish in the mouth is a ‘traumatized animal’ in cuisine. Seabass stomach is another delicious food, because the texture of the stomach is both chewy and strange. However, the stomach does not go to the buyer to buy the whole ready-made seabass. The stomach is sold separately. Surely you have not tried the fish’s stomach and coconut water? Try it! Online for sale this component is full, prices fluctuate quite. If you want to eat, you must experience places that provide quality and reputable goods. For the full set: For steamed seabass oil, delicious coconut water in the stomach!

During the war against the French and the US, the Can Gio district formed an important base, strategically located because it was located close to the sea, near Saigon, with a dangerous terrain with immense jungle. , the rivers are crammed. In 1965, the US massively sent troops and means of war into South Vietnam. Long Tau River becomes the lifeline for military transport from the East Sea to the inner city of Saigon. In this situation, assessing the area of ​​Sac forest as an important strategic place, on April 15, 1966, the Regional Command of the Region decided to establish the special military zone of Sac forest (codename T10, later changed. The name of Doan 10 Special Forces of Sac Forest) with the main task of the strategic waterway on the Long Tau river, destroying the enemy’s treasures and yards and protecting the pedal for our supply forces. in the harsh conditions of the war zone on the water, in the “backyard” position of the enemy, the special forces of the Sac forest were built with the motto of clinging to the people, clinging to the ground, clinging to the terrain to build a heart-warming position. people; At the same time, perform the mission by all means to fight the enemy on the rivers to destroy the enemy’s supply for Saigon. Can Gio has many beautiful scenes for a long time like a fairy falling in a long sleep. One of the most famous battles that took place when the 10th Corps was first formed was the Battle of Victory ship in August 1966. The US brought Victory ship to carry about 100 tanks, armored vehicles, 2 helicopters, 20 tons of food, food … to supply to an American division, preparing for the first dry season campaign 1966 – 1967 In the river, enemy ships patrol continuously, in the sky, airplanes, and on the dense commandos. To fight, the special special forces soldiers of Sac forest have to soak in the water, bury themselves camouflage in the mud. On the morning of August 23, 1966, when the Victory ship passed, two mines of the soldier of the 10th Division blew up the ship with a tonnage of more than 10,000 tons and sunk into the riverbed with weapons. and full of creativity, during the war against the US, Group 10 forest Sac eliminated 6,200 enemy enemies, sank and burned 356 combat ships, sank 13 transport ships from 8,000 to 13,000 tons, shot down 145 Other transport ships shot down 29 helicopters, burned 110,000 tons of bombs, 250 million liters of oil and gas of the enemy … US General W. Westmoreland, Commander in Chief of the US Expeditionary Force in South Vietnam must admit, American soldiers had encountered “a strange fight in a strange war”. Can Gio was once a revolutionary base, with many glorious feats. Future seaside city After the liberation, the Can Gio area is where thousands of young volunteers have devoted their youth to building foundations for development. However, in the following years, Can Gio was still unable to make a breakthrough due to the limitations of topography, infrastructure and manpower. A clear, specific and feasible development strategy has not been outlined. Not until recently, when the Ho Chi Minh City government issued 4 decisions approving the detailed planning tasks of 1 project at the scale of 1/500 with subdivisions A, B, C, D, E with a total area of ​​more than 2,870 ha and total investment up to 10 billion USD; the project’s population scale is 228,000 people, with 8,887 million tourists / year; The project’s products are mainly urban product lines (apartments, shops, villas …) and some resort products (condotels), in order to turn Can Gio into a coastal city with a harmonious development. Modern planning combined with a friendly natural environment. As soon as the idea of ​​the city leaders was put in place, many urban planners proposed solutions for development. In which, there are big ideas such as forming “Vung Tau – Can Gio – Go Cong sea urban chain” in Can Gio bay, creating “front” of the sea to welcome opportunities to develop high value-added marine economy. and international maritime transactions, as a springboard for Ho Chi Minh City to become a gateway city more strongly connecting with the region and the world. Right now, there are many optimistic views about the future of Can Gio, when comparing this area with the world famous coastal cities such as Shenzhen (China), Miami (USA), Rotterdam ( Netherlands), Marseille (France), Dubai (UAE), Singapore and Yokohama (Japan) … In the future, when it becomes a marine tourism city, Can Gio is expected to be an attractive destination for tourists from 5 continents. Proposals for a “giant” sea reclamation project have also been made, aimed at protecting the Can Gio Biosphere Reserve. Asserting that rotating the axis to the sea and considering the sea as the “front” of the country is absolutely correct, urbanist Dr. Nguyen Minh Hoa said that the proposal to bring Can Gio straight to “Can Gio city” without going up. District, becoming a modern city with tourism – service – seaport function in a chain of urban centers of international stature is necessary. However, it should be noted, with nearly 80% of the area of ​​Can Gio being forest, so it is considered the “lung” of the city, contributing to climate regulation, preventing hot wind, making the atmosphere cool. . The total area of ​​Can Gio mangrove biosphere reserve is 75,740ha, of which the core zone is 4,721ha, the buffer zone is 41,139ha and the transitional zone is 29,880ha. In 2000, UNESCO recognized Can Gio as “World Biosphere Reserve” and became the property not only of Vietnam but also of the world. Because it is a particularly “sensitive” area, UNESCO and international experts recommend special caution when developing this area. Can Gio is a valuable biosphere reserve as a shield for the environment of Ho Chi Minh City and the Southeast. Moreover, Can Gio district has about 70,000 people. According to calculations, after the projects come into effect, this land will have a static and dynamic population increasing to nearly 10 million people (of which about 9 million guests). travel). With so many people and their activities in production, activities, entertainment, festivals … will definitely cause an impact on the environment and will damage mangroves as well as more or less. affected plants and animals. Therefore, the development of the marine economy and the protection of the “armor layer” for Ho Chi Minh City is a difficult problem between hot growth and “favorable”.

Illustration. The mudskipper is also called a tree climbing fish because they can stay on land for a long time with exceptional respiration.Additionally, the mudskipper is more special than other fish in that it can dive 5 to 5 depths. 10 minutes or so high up out of the water. Sometimes we climb up the tree, squeeze it on the mangrove trunk. The mudskipper often burrows into the soft, wetlands, close to the edge of the water at the highest tide. The mudskipper often enters the cave when the water flows and feeds when the water is high. The fish’s food consists of mussels, shrimps, shrimps and smaller fish. Although the mudfish has an ugly shape, the meat is extremely delicious, the meat is sweet and soft, has no fat, and is tough. The dishes can be processed from mud snapper such as braised mudfish with pepper, soya sauce, grilled sardines, mudfish salad with pliers leaves, and grilled mudfish with salt and chili. To process the food, the mudskipper must be raw, if dead, the meat will be broken and fishy. For grilled fish, let the whole fish marinate with spices or chili salt to soak and then grill on the charcoal stove. Grilled or blasted in the style of grilled snakehead fish.

My one-day travel schedule in Can Gio is as follows: Morning Vehicles in this trip are motorbikes and trains. 7:00: Depart from University of Science (District 5) 7h45: Arrive at Binh Khanh ferry, move across the island by ferry 8h15: Breakfast 9h30: Arrive at Tac Thuat wharf, depart for Thanh An island 10h30: Visit seafood market, have lunch On Thanh An Island, visitors can enjoy seafood at the market or in nearby eateries.

The shop is quite expensive. Eye-catching dish with giant ribs. If you do not like broken rice, you can eat pho at the next restaurant. Coming to Thanh An Island, you can buy seafood directly at the market and ask the seller to process it on the spot to enjoy. The market has no tables and chairs, so you can sit at the water shop. If you go to a seafood restaurant to eat, you will only order food without choosing seafood. I went to Sau Bo shop to try. The food is quite delicious, the price is reasonable. At the seafood market near Can Gio beach, 3 boxes of snails usually cost 100,000 VND. Crab, crab and shrimp cost 100,000 VND / box. If you can pay the price it may be cheaper. The seafood here is not so great. Maybe because I was late, the seafood was no longer fresh. However, the way to cook is delicious, especially tamarind sauce. The price to rent a seat at the market is 20,000 VND / chair, guests are allowed to bring food. Note For a safe trip, you should pay attention to the following things: – If you are short of time and afraid to move, you can reduce a few unnecessary locations. – If you want to enjoy fresh seafood, you should take advantage of the market early. – You must ensure the correct medical reporting process. – Visitors should prepare in advance ways to limit seasickness. – The last trip back to the mainland at 17:00, you should pay attention to avoid getting stuck on the island. – Sunset in Can Gio drops very quickly. You want to live virtual, check-in so quickly shoot. – When it was quite dark, on the road there were some sections with no lights and quite a few potholes.
