According to the song about Ca Mau Cape

Ca Mau Cape Monument - a check-in point for tourists when coming to Ca Mau.

Dat Mui Commune (Ngoc Hien District), the end of the country, surrounded by the East Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, is the only coordinate in Vietnam where you can watch the sun rise in the East and set in the West... In April, a dry, golden day of sunshine flows over the roads, canals, and rivers, where crowds of people converge here. The first citizen we met here - Mr. Vo Thanh (Mui Hamlet) happily shared: "This is the time when there are the most tourists. From all over the country...". The salty sea breeze, the wind from the canals, mangrove forests, and mangroves blows incessantly, making each step of the tourists more joyful and faster. Mui Ca Mau Cultural Tourism Park located in the Mui Ca Mau World Biosphere Reserve recognized by UNESCO appeared before our eyes...

The red flag flutters on the "Hanoi Flagpole". A group of cadres and students from a school in Hanoi are passionately checking in for group and individual photos. Hanoians meet the Hanoi Flagpole at the end of the country, what could be more interesting than that. A forest of flags when dozens of people are wearing shirts with the national flag printed on them, with a five-pointed yellow star on their chests. Ms. Ngoc Phuong from the remote Northwest was moved: "I once went to Lung Cu Flagpole (Dong Van - Ha Giang), the northernmost point of the country... At the foot of Lung Cu Flagpole, I wished to go to the southernmost point of the country to see the flag fluttering in the wind. Today, my wish has come true when I come to Ca Mau Cape. Ca Mau Cape has changed more than what we have known through books, movies...".

Another group of tourists also came from the North, some in military uniforms, with medals and badges glistening on their chests; some in youth volunteer uniforms or flowing white ao dai… A woman in the group said: We just came back from Con Dao (Ba Ria - Vung Tau) on a journey to visit the source on the occasion of the 30/4 anniversary. Standing in the middle of the space of Dat Mui was truly happy, filled with joy. Most of the group visited Dat Mui for the first time…

Every visitor here feels sacred and proud: this is the end of the Fatherland - the southernmost land of the motherland Vietnam. Every place they set foot on makes the members of the group emotional. This landmark "Ho Chi Minh Road, end point Ca Mau, km 2436" is the project at the end of the Ho Chi Minh road from Pac Bo (Cao Bang), passing through 28 provinces and cities to Ca Mau. Then Lac Long Temple at the southernmost point, many visitors come to offer incense in memory.

At the National Coordinate Marker GPS 0001 - 1 of the 4 extreme points marking the sacred sovereignty of Vietnam's territory on land and the Ca Mau Cape Monument in the shape of a sailboat with coordinates of Cape 8°37'30" North latitude, 104°43' East longitude, is always a destination not to be missed by any tourist. A tourist from Ho Chi Minh City shared: Standing here, the emotions are especially overwhelming. Before coming here, my family reminded me over and over again: if you haven't been to these symbols, it's like you haven't been to Dat Mui yet. So when you come here, even though there are many people, you still have to wait to check-in for a photo... The visitor's eyes lit up with joy that is hard to put into words...

Ca Mau Cape with special, impressive and meaningful destinations; in the space of the sea breeze, the vast green mangrove forests... The pace of life is not too fast, vibrant but slow, deep. This place has simple, generous and sincere people. From that attraction, in 2024, Ca Mau Cape tourism welcomed 480,400 visitors to visit and enjoy, including many international visitors. This "red address" has contributed to Ca Mau welcoming 2.1 million visitors in 2024, with revenue reaching 3,080 billion VND...

Saying goodbye to Ca Mau after memorable moments at Dat Mui, I feel even more deeply the lyrics: "I heard that Ca Mau is very far away/ At the end of the map of Vietnam/ Why not come back from the long road/ Come back to say a few words to each other". Ca Mau is not far away, even though we are far away from Ca Mau, there will be a day to return because the love will never fade away...
