What Makes Bao Gia Trang Vien Ecological Garden Special?

Bao Gia Trang Vien Ecological Garden is the soul of active heritage in Can Tho. It is not just a resort; it is a playground designed to reconnect the human “resilient spirit” with the natural world.

Today, it stands as a symbol of the Delta’s modern diversity. Visitors can find professional rock climbing walls—the first of their kind in the region—standing alongside ancient-style villas. Observing how the staff manages the organic nutrient cycles of the garden while maintaining high safety standards for adventure games highlights the deep connection between sustainable management and high-quality human experience.

“With Mekong Smile experts, you will discover that Bao Gia Trang Vien Ecological Garden offers a rare synergy of ‘Action and Stillness.’ We guide you through the technical aspects of the Mekong Rock Wall, explaining how to use the humid Delta air to your advantage. But more importantly, we help you transition from the high-adrenaline climb to a state of ‘Mindful Stillness’ in the organic orchard.” – Mr. Jimmy, Business Development of Mekong Smile
