Ho Chi Minh City – Mekong Delta – Can Tho
After breakfast, transfer to Cai Be town in Tien Giang by car (3 hours).
Here you will see the Mekong Delta which has extensive network of thousands of water channels extending over 40,000 km2. The landscape is beautiful with its yellow rice fields and green orchards. The main mean of transportation is by boat. Board a traditional boat for a trip down the Mekong River, experience the memorable Cai Be floating market, and explore the canals and their lush green vegetation. Don’t miss the orchards where you can listen to the traditional tunes of the South while tasting a diverse selection of tropical fruits. Filled with vitamins and fiber, discover the local way of producing coconut candy and rice cakes and rehydrate yourself with a cup of honey tea at a beekeeping house.
Have lunch at Anh Kiet’s Historic House, a wooden garden house built in 1838 adorned with intricate carvings and antique furniture. The impressive sounding and equally tasty deep fried “elephant ear” fish is a must try dish.
After lunch, depart for your trip to Can Tho, the largest city in the Mekong Delta.
Night in Can Tho.
Can Tho – Ho Chi Minh City
Can Tho is a university town amidst three rivers in the heart of the delta. Once part of the Khmer Kingdom, many ethnic Khmers still live in the Mekong Delta.
Life starts early in this part of the country, and so your morning will begin early for a visit to Cai Rang floating market which is usually already bustling by 07:00. As one of the main trading centers of the Mekong Delta, Cai Rang is the place for locals to sell and buy a wide range of products catering to their daily lives. Besides staple commodities, this market is ideal for those looking for local produces at bargain prices. That includes anything from fruits freshly harvested from orchards like durian, milk fruit, rambutan, mangosteen, and grapefruit to other processed foods like fish sauce, coconut candy, or dried fishes. Enjoy your very own breakfast on a private boat and explore the lively waterways.
Visit Binh Thuy House, the two-centuries-old communal house featuring French colonial architecture and its serene garden, a vestige of Can Tho’s very own fine architecture and antique.
