    Visit the Con Son fruit garden where the fruit-picking experience is, you will enter the garden with the Con Son people to visit the garden and eat fruit in the garden. But not the type of climbing freely picking and eating. But Con Son still gives you a feeling of picking the fruits (seasonal) and eaten fruits (rambutans, guava, rose apple…) right in the gardens.
