With the tour series named Toward the South-West, we wishes to bring you impressive images of the generous, motherly Mekong Delta accompanied by its typical culture. Fertile alluvial from the rivers have been nurturing numerous fruitful farms year after year. The two main rivers of the delta named Tiền Giang and Hậu Giang (which mean Front River and Back River) have been supplying water for endless fresh fields spreading up to the skyline. The delta’s culture was born from and has been attached to rivers and farms, showing clearly in the busy atmosphere of the Cái Răng Floating Market or in many handicraft villages on the riversides. With their truthful, hospitable, and generous personalities, people in the South-West have embedded their own beautiful images in the hearts of tourists from every corner of the world.

Tour Details

DAY 1: HỒ CHÍ MINH CITY – SA ĐÉC TOWN – CHÂU ĐỐC TOWN: GO TO SA ĐÉC TO VISIT THE LAND OF “THE LOVER”

To start the tour, a coach and tour guide will come to pick you up at meeting places and leave Hồ Chí Minh City for Sa Đéc Town. When arriving at the town, you will visit the Kiến An Cung Temple. This one-hundred-year-old temple will impress you with its Chinese architecture.

Next, you will visit the old house of Huỳnh Thuỷ Lê to learn more about the love of the famous French writer Marguerite Duras with Mr. Huỳnh Thuỷ Lê. This love entered Duras’s well-known novel entitled “The Lover”, which is adapted to a movie with the same title.

Your lunch will be served at the old house of Huỳnh Thuỷ Lê.

On the way to Cao Lãnh City, you will pass Lai Vung Town, which is extremely famous for “nem”. “Nem” is a specialty of Vietnamese food that consists of harsh pork wrapped in banana leaf. You will also stop for a short tour in Định Yên Village, which is famous for its handicraft of mat. Mats made in this village are used all over the Mekong Delta.

DAY 3: CẦN THƠ CITY – HỒ CHÍ MINH CITY: FAREWELL TO THE WESTERN CAPITAL
