Quan Am Co Tu Pagoda (also known as Sac Tu Quan Am Co Tu) is one of the oldest and most sacred pagodas in the Cape region.

To this day, the pagoda still retains its ancient architecture with curved tiled roofs, finely carved wooden columns, and a serene atmosphere in the heart of the city.

The most prominent feature of the pagoda is the large open-air statue of Quan The Am Bodhisattva (Guan Yin) in the courtyard, facing the water, symbolizing compassion and protection for all beings. On the occasions of the full moon of the first lunar month and the full moon of the seventh lunar month, the pagoda attracts thousands of Buddhists and tourists to worship and pray for peace, creating a solemn yet intimate spiritual festive atmosphere.

Best Time to Travel
From January to March: This is the most beautiful time to explore local nature and culture. U Minh Ha Melaleuca Forest, canals, and the Bac Lieu Wind Farm become lush green, the air is fresh, and the sea is calm.

From May to November: Ca Mau is in the rainy season, often experiencing heavy rain and slippery roads, which is less favorable for river tours or mangrove forest sightseeing. Therefore, for a smooth journey and a complete experience of nature, culture, and cuisine, visitors should plan their trip to Ca Mau - Bac Lieu during the dry season, especially the early months of the year, which is convenient for both sightseeing and participating in distinctive festivals.
