Your adventure in Can Tho begins early in the morning, around 8:00 AM with a visit to the famous Cai Rang Floating Market, where the hustle and bustle of river trade comes to life.
The market is a sight to behold, with vendors shouting their wares and buyers exchanging goods, all set against the peaceful backdrop of the Mekong Delta. You can even purchase some fresh fruit directly from the boats.
After experiencing the energy of the floating market, take a leisurely ride along the winding canals of the Mekong Delta. The tranquil waters and lush greenery surrounding you offer a peaceful escape from the market’s frenzy.
As you glide through the waterways, you’ll pass by traditional stilt houses, small fishing villages, and serene landscapes that give you a true sense of local life.
Once back on land, head to a local orchard to explore the diverse range of fruits grown in the area. Depending on the season, you may sample tropical delights such as longans, durian, or rambutans. In addition to tasting the fruits, you’ll also get a chance to learn about the farming practices of the region.
For lunch, enjoy a traditional meal of Mekong Delta specialties. Try dishes like grilled snakehead fish or bánh xèo, a savory Vietnamese pancake filled with shrimp, pork, and bean sprouts, all served with fresh herbs and dipping sauce.
After lunch, head to the Binh Thuy Ancient House, a charming colonial-style building that offers insight into the history of the region. With its beautiful gardens and traditional architecture, it’s a peaceful place to relax and reflect.
Finally, end your trip with a stroll along Can Tho’s riverside promenade, enjoying the view of the river and the gentle breeze. This relaxing moment gives you a chance to soak in the beauty and tranquility of the Mekong Delta before heading back.
