  U Minh Forest spreads over an area from the Ong Doc River (in Ca Mau province) to the Cai Lon River (in Kien Giang). The prevailing species of tree is the cajuput (10-20 meters high).

  The peaty soil reaches a thickness of 2-5 meters. The forest was a resistance base against the French, later against the Americans, and was subject to intense chemical spraying. It still contains numerous wildlife, especially birds and fish.
