Mo O marine eco-tourism area is located near the My Thanh river mouth in the East Sea area, home to many species of birds, reptiles and rich seafood.
Tai day con duy tri nghe truot mong bat thuy hai san.
Here, the profession of sliding to catch fish and shrimp has been maintained for hundreds of years.
Do phu sa boi dap, nhieu sin lay khong the loi hang km nen nhung cu dan noi day da nghi ra cach lay nhieu tam van go mong ghep l̀ai thanh phuong tien di chuyen tren bun lay.
Due to alluvial deposits, many swamps cannot be waded for kilometers, so people have come up with a way to use many thin wooden planks to make a means of transport on the mud.
The way to move is to stand or kneel on a wooden board with one foot and push the board with the other foot in the mud. The bending motion makes the buttocks stick up high when sliding, so it is called "sliding".
Mong duoc lam bang nhung manh go ghep vao nhau. Go thuong la cay me nuoc, dau hoac mu u vi co do ben cao, neu bao quan tot co the su dung den 2 - 3 nam. De thuan tien, nguoi dan con dong tay vin, cho de gio, nuoc uong va ca thuc an.
The hut is made of pieces of wood joined together. The wood is usually tamarind, oil or candlenut because it is durable and can be used for 2-3 years if well preserved. For convenience, people also make handrails, places to put baskets, drinks and even food.
Ong Ly Minh - mot ho dan da co tren 25 nam theo nghe truot mong o Mo O - cho biet: “Nhin truot don gian nhung phai dung ky thuat thi moi nhanh va giu duoc suc ben.

Voi nhung nguoi co suc khoe tot thi moi cu dap, chiec mong co the lao di xa den 3m.
Mr. Ly Minh - a resident who has been sliding for over 25 years - said: "Sliding looks simple but requires the right technique to be fast and maintain endurance. When sliding, one leg rests on the crossbar, the other leg kicks into the mud to push the crossbar forward. Both hands hold onto the handle to control the desired direction. For people with good health, each kick can send the crossbar up to 3m away."
Nhung nam gan day nghe truot mong thu hut nhieu khach du lich den tham quan, trai nghiem.
In recent years, the slide has attracted many tourists to visit and experience.
Nhung nam gan day, chinh quyen dia phuong cua huyen Tran De (tinh Soc Trang) con to chuc hoi thi day mong nham bao ton nghe dac trung.
The local government of Tran De district (Soc Trang province) also organized a sliding competition to preserve the unique profession.
