Bang Lang Stork Garden
Vườn cò Bằng Lăng
A private bird garden of about 1.3 hectares, home to hundreds of thousands of egrets and storks, with birds blanketing the sky as they return to roost at dusk.
Bang Lang Stork Garden is in Thot Not district in the north of Can Tho. It was originally a family orchard, but since the 1980s birds have gathered here naturally, and there are now more than ten species of water birds, including egrets, storks and night herons, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. The garden has a bird-watching tower about 20 meters high. The most spectacular time is at dusk, when the flocks return to roost, but you can also see them leave to forage at dawn. Entry costs around 20,000 Vietnamese dong. It is about 45 km from Can Tho city, roughly a 1-hour drive, so leave in the afternoon. Bring a telephoto lens and insect repellent.
