Đồng Tháp Province’s emblem features a red-crowned crane. Vietnam has been deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and it also regards the red-crowned crane as an auspicious bird. There are numerous literary and artistic works that praise the red-crowned crane. Vietnam isn’t the bird’s primary habitat, but its tracks are found in Đồng Tháp Province’s Tràm Chim National Park every winter. The red-crowned cranes fly to Southeast Asia to spend the winter from Sanjiang Plain and the middle and lower reaches of the Nenjiang River in China’s Heilongjiang Province, the far east of Russia, and Japan. Vietnam has classified the red-crowned crane as a protected species. The emblem also has a wreath of rice, which indicates that Đồng Tháp Province is a major rice-producing province. The lotus petals symbolize upward development.
