Bang Lang stork sanctuary- special tourist destination

The Bang Lang stork sanctuary in Thot Not district has boasted itself one of the most attractive tourist destinations in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho.

Historically it has attracted a lot of visitors, especially foreigners, who reported they enjoyed watching its beautiful nature and the daily life of the many types of birds and storks.
 

Storks have resided at the sanctuary since 1983 and more than 300,000 storks of nearly 20 varieties have been cited in it.

Recently, due to natural changes and poaching, the number of stork in Bang Lang sanctuary has dropped significantly.

Visitors said they hoped that the sanctuary would be a preservation area for more kinds of birds and storks in the future.
