Find coolness under the green mulberry trees.

In the southernmost region of Vietnam, the Cái Tàu mulberry gardens in Khánh An and Nguyễn Phích have long been etched in memory, becoming a familiar image closely associated with generations of local people.

• Restoring the Cai Tau strawberry garden.
• Remember the strawberry season in Cai Tau

For a time, due to its low economic efficiency, this specialty crop was gradually forgotten, giving way to other production models. Faced with the risk of extinction, some households have made efforts to preserve, gradually restore, and develop strawberry gardens in the direction of ecotourism .

The strawberry garden, laden with fruit, is an attractive spot for tourists to take photos.

At the Huong Tram tourist site (Khanh An commune), about 50 green mulberry and Cai Tau mulberry trees are bearing fruit, attracting tourists to visit and experience them during the April 30th holiday. Mr. Giang Hoang Hon, Director of the tourist site, said that restoring the mulberry garden not only creates more tourism products but also contributes to introducing specialties associated with the memories of the U Minh region.

Also deeply committed to ecotourism, Mr. Tran Thanh Liem (Ba Liem), from Hamlet 10, Nguyen Phich Commune, has painstakingly cultivated a mulberry garden with approximately 200 trees, making it an attractive tourist destination for visitors from within and outside the province. According to him, restoring the mulberry garden not only brings economic value but also contributes to preserving the unique characteristics of the ancient U Minh region, famous for its Cai Tau mulberries.

Currently, many households in the communes of Khánh An, Nguyễn Phích, and Khánh Lâm still maintain mulberry cultivation on varying scales, both to serve tourism and to preserve the memory of a local specialty fruit. Restoring the Cái Tàu mulberry gardens not only helps increase income but also contributes to preserving local cultural values.

Strawberries are in season; according to folk wisdom, after a few rain showers, the fruit will be sweeter.

During hot days, the cool, green space of the strawberry garden becomes an ideal destination. Visitors can pick and enjoy sweet and sour strawberries right in the garden, enjoying a relaxing feeling amidst nature, temporarily escaping the hustle and bustle of city life.
