Arriving
early in the morning at around 9:00AM, you will embark on a boat to
visit Cai Rang floating market to observe the daily life of local people
who live mostly based on the river sources. We can buy some fresh
tropical fruits on the local seller’s boats and engage in the
conversation with them.
Leaving the market, we will be cruising on a sampan along the canals under the green canopy of water coconuts trees. This is optional depending on the tides of the Mekong river.
Then, you are heading to Mekong Rustic Can Tho which is surrounded by lush tropical orchard gardens. There you have short break, enjoy tea and welcome fruits prepared by the host of Mekong Rustic.
After break time, you will cycle around the peaceful Nhon Lọc Isles. Stop at Cao Dai Temple in Phong Dien which is symbolizing for the local unique religion and then stop at a local farmer’s house to savor a cup of tea and learn how to make local banana cake specialties. Enjoy your self-picked tropical fruits at one of the most abundant orchards on Mekong river. You have a Southern style Vietnamese lunch with local people here.
After
lunch time, you enjoy the banana cake and say goodbye to the friendly
host, we keep on cycling to the blacksmith workshop before returning
back to Mekong Rustic Can Tho and back to your hotel.
