Description

Explore the 'rice bowl of Vietnam,' the Mekong River Delta, a flatland stretching from Ho Chi Minh's southwest to the Gulf of Thailand. Orchards, paddy fields, and swamplands make up the rustic landscape of this verdant region, which is well worth exploring as an escape from Saigon's street scenes. Start with an early pickup before heading south to the Cai Be district, where you'll board a boat to Tan Phong Island, one of the better-known islands in the Mekong Delta, famed for its fruit orchards, aquaculture, and fishing. Pass the floating market and learn its history from your friendly guide. Next, stop at an Ancient House, known by the locals as the old house of Mr. Kiet. Step back in time in this ancient five-bedroom house that is almost 200 years old. Marvel at the intricately decorated interiors, featuring rare pieces of wood inlaid with numerous delicate carvings. Then, have a late lunch before heading for some sweet treats at the Kimmy Chocolatier Factory. Stop at the Vinh Tran Pagoda, a timeless oasis nestled in the heart of the Mekong Delta. Marvel at its intricate architecture and tranquil surroundings before returning to Ho Chi Minh.
