Description

Begin your journey with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Can Tho. Head to the pier and board a local eco-friendly slow boat, allowing you to enjoy the quiet scenery along the Hau River without disturbing the natural environment. As the boat enters a narrow countryside canal, observe daily life along the water: locals fishing, tending fruit gardens, or relaxing beside traditional wooden houses. Disembark at a small landing point and begin a relaxing walk through a maze of green village paths. Bamboo, tropical trees, and simple Khmer homes make this area a refreshing change from the busy city. After a short walk, arrive at Phu Ly Pagoda, one of the most authentic Khmer spiritual sites in the region. Your guide will share stories about Khmer culture, temple architecture, spiritual customs, and the daily life of the monks who live here. Before leaving, receive a gentle blessing ceremony from the resident monks — a meaningful moment that many visitors remember most. Finally, return to the boat and cruise back toward Ninh Kieu Wharf in Can Tho, ending your cultural journey.
