From the center of Hue city, visitors can reach Ru Cha by riding along Highway 49 then turning left in the direction of Tam Giang Bridge. If you go from Thuan An fishing port, you can come here by fishing boat. (Photo: VN Express) |
When the leaves of a cha tree turn yellow, it will quickly fall off. Therefore, visitors should take advantage of this place to enjoy the scenery that only happens in a short time once a year. (Photo: VN Express) |

There are no restaurants in Ru Cha, so visitors often bring food themselves. On the way back to about 2 km away, visitors can visit Con Te and enjoy fresh seafood at popular restaurants. (Photo: VN Express) |

The local people said that it was not easy to enter the forest. They had to wade in the water, took boats or wade in the mud. Today, visitors can ride motorbikes on concrete roads or take a small boat to go sightseeing in the forest. (Photo: VN Express) |
