HUYỀN THOẠI RỪNG GIÀ – NGHE KỂ CHUYỆN U MINH HẠ TẠI CA MAU ECO

Câu chuyện về rừng U Minh Hạ không chỉ là chuyện về một vùng đất địa lý, mà là bản anh hùng ca về sự sinh tồn, những huyền thoại kỳ bí và hơi thở nồng nàn của đất phương Nam.

If you want to hear about the true soul of this forest, let Ca Mau Eco tell you through three perspectives:

The Land of Legends

U Minh Ha is famous for its wild, mysterious beauty since the days of reclamation. This land is tied to tales of giant king cobras and the optimistic, generous folk stories of Bac Ba Phi about the abundance of local produce.

The Art of Beekeeping: A Covenant with the Ancient Forest

If there is one story that best demonstrates the bond between humans and the mangrove forest, it is the craft of wild beekeeping. The people of U Minh do not rob honey; they invite bees to build hives.

Rafter technique: Artisans must understand wind direction and sunlight to place cajeput wood rafters so that wild bees feel most comfortable.

Honey harvesting: When honey matures, beekeepers carry smoldering smoke bundles to gently part the bees. The image of foresters amidst misty smoke, cutting golden hives fragrant with cajeput flower nectar, is a beautiful symbol of pure labor.

Bac Ba Phi: The King of Storytelling

Speaking of U Minh Ha without mentioning Bac Ba Phi (Artisan Nguyen Long Phi) would be a great oversight. His legendary tall tales—turtles pushing carts, snakes scooping fish, sticky rice trapping birds' beaks—were not merely funny exaggerations, but the local way of embracing nature's harshness with optimism. Through his narration, U Minh shines with bountiful produce where fish and shrimp are so abundant one can barely wade through the water.

U Minh Ha today is no longer intimidating like in the pioneer days. It has become a National Park and an Intangible Cultural Heritage with its unique wild beekeeping craft. The water remains reddish, the cajeput trees stay green, and stories of human warmth and forest devotion continue to be written by the honest people of Ca Mau.
