If our beloved Vietnam is likened to a soft silk strip stretching from North to South, then Ca Mau is the spearhead reaching out to the ocean, the sacred punctuation point at the southernmost point of the country. Coming to Ca Mau, we not only return to a land, but also return to the source of happiness - where nature, people and culture blend into a complete picture of life. Ca Mau is blessed by nature with golden forests, silver seas, and fertile land. The immense mangrove and cajuput forests are like resilient green walls that block storms, protect the land and water. Out there, the East Sea and the West Sea beat together, creating a unique sea that cannot be found anywhere else. Standing at the very tip of the land, where the national coordinate marker towers out to sea, we can feel the pride rising: how vast and indomitable our country is! Happiness in Ca Mau is not noisy, not luxurious, but exists in every simple moment. It is when you sit on a sampan weaving through the canals, listening to the chirping of birds on the mangrove tops, breathing in the salty scent of alluvium. It is when you stop by the floating market, seeing the bright smiles of merchants amidst the cries of love. It is when you sit down to a rustic meal with grilled mudskippers, fish sauce hotpot, red, firm Ca Mau crabs, listening to the melodious sounds of traditional music, and suddenly feel life is light and peaceful. The people of Ca Mau are gentle, honest, and full of determination. In the midst of immense nature, they rise up with their diligent hands, preserving the forest, the sea, and the culture of their ancestors. It is that love that creates happiness - the happiness of sharing, of neighborly love, of faith in tomorrow. Ca Mau today is changing every day. The young city strives to be modern, with newly opened roads and spacious constructions, but still retains the identity of a riverside countryside. Ca Mau is not only the end of the journey to the South, but also the starting point for a big dream - the dream of reaching out to the sea, integrating with the world but still keeping the soul of the Vietnamese homeland. Arriving in Ca Mau, you will realize: happiness is not something far away, but the peace from the land and sky, the saltiness from the ocean, the sincerity from the smiles of the people of the land. And in every rhythm of life here, we clearly see a healthy truth of life.
