Vietnam » Ho Chi Minh City » MEKONG DELTA
Visit the Mekong Delta to understand why it's called the rice stock of Vietnam, why a sampan tied to a coconut tree can evoke nostalgy. There you will find the simplest people, who would not care much about the luxury life of the city. Just walk idly in My Tho or Vinh Long or Can Tho and discover daily life of the Vietnamese on the river and arroyos, taste the sweet and fresh coconut juice and smell the particular fragrance of the rice paddies. Further down to Soc Trang, the mysterious Khmer culture is hidden behind the gate of Hinayana temples. The Mekong River with its intertwined branches will lead you from one surprise to another. The hospitality of the people is the most impressing. They welcome you like relatives coming home. Mekong delta is not also the biggest fruit gardens of Vietnam. Food here tastes different from other places. Beside the common food the local dishes also comprise of snakes, tortoises, bats, eels... |
