The only remaining bamboo bridge in Quang Nam, foreign tourists enjoy taking pictures

(Dan Tri) - The bamboo bridge called Cam Dong connects the village to the alluvial land for people to go to work in the fields every day. This is also the bridge that foreign tourists like to explore when traveling to Quang Nam.

Cam Dong bamboo bridge connects Cam Phu village to Go Dinh alluvial land in the middle of Thu Bon river, Dien Phong commune, Dien Ban town, Quang Nam . This is a bridge made by the people themselves, mainly from bamboo, and is the only traffic route for people from this side of the river to Go Dinh alluvial land for agricultural production.

Every early morning, people here call each other across the Thu Bon River branch to go to the Go Dinh alluvial plain to plant and harvest crops. The Go Dinh alluvial plain is located in the middle of the Thu Bon River with an area of ​​about 90 hectares, is a fertile field, and is a key agricultural production area of ​​Dien Phong commune.

The childhood memories of the people here are all associated with Cam Dong bamboo bridge with countless memories. The children who used to follow their parents across the bridge barefoot and bathe in the Thu Bon river are now grown up, wandering all over the world.

The bamboo bridge is fragile so every flood season it is damaged, sometimes swept away by the flood water. After the flood, people spend money to buy bamboo to rebuild a new bridge to serve agricultural production.

The bridge is dozens of meters long, less than 1 meter wide, quite high above the water, has a handrail on one side, and looks very unsteady when crossing.

The green flower fields are cool to the eye in the middle of the Thu Bon River alluvial plain. The shortest way for people to get to the fields is via Cam Dong Bridge, which is faster and more convenient than crossing the river by boat.

This bridge is also a place where many photographers and photography enthusiasts come to create, especially at dawn or dusk.

Early morning or sunset, the bamboo bridge is reflected on the water surface.

When the sunset falls, it is time for farmers to return home to rest after a hard day's work.

For those who love the rustic beauty of the countryside, Cam Dong bamboo bridge has become a destination for tourists when coming to Quang Nam.

Every day, people go home from work on the bridge. In the memory of the people here, the bamboo bridge is closely associated with their lives.

Ms. Phan Thi Thai Hoa - Deputy Director of the Center for Culture - Sports and Radio - Television of Dien Ban town - said that Cam Dong bridge is the highlight of the Go Noi eco- tourism area, including 3 communes of Dien Phong, Dien Trung and Dien Quang, Dien Ban town. This place also has many local historical relics.

"Cam Dong bamboo bridge is most beautiful at sunset. Foreign tourists love to take a boat tour on the Thu Bon river to see Cam Dong bamboo bridge at sunset, watch people returning from work, fishing on the river... Many photographers have also come here to compose, leaving behind many wonderful and unique works from this bamboo bridge," said Ms. Phan Thi Thai Hoa.
