About this location

Gian Gua Historical Site – Historical Filming Location in Can Tho Gian Gua Historical Site is located in Nhon Khanh Hamlet, Nhon Ai Commune, Can Tho City. According to the city's heritage inventory, Gian Gua was ranked as a Municipal Historical Site under Decision No. 1225/QD-UBND dated April 5, 2013. The location is associated with revolutionary activities during the resistance wars against French colonialism and American imperialism. Its prominent visual value lies in the cluster of banyan fig (gùa) trees with a densely intertwined system of trunks, branches, and boughs, creating a unique natural spatial structure. Official municipal records in 2026 note that Gian Gua holds simultaneous historical, spiritual, and natural landscape values, with its canopy creating a characteristic ambiance in the heart of Can Tho's orchard region. Depending on script requirements, the combination of dense foliage and revolutionary historical significance provides a strong foundation for period films, documentaries, and works recreating wartime resistance settings. The location requires a physical scouting visit and strict adherence to heritage management regulations prior to filming. Information synthesized by: PTIT. Photo source: Internet.
