DAY 17: MY THO - MEKONG RIVER DELTA[B/L]
Leave for My Tho Town in Tien Giang Province, the gateway to the Mekong Delta, located about 75 km from Ho Chi Minh City. My Tho is known for its tranquil atmosphere and lush landscapes, and it marks the beginning of the famous Mekong Delta region. Your first stop is the Vinh Trang Pagoda, a beautiful and historic pagoda surrounded by serene gardens. The pagoda is an important cultural and spiritual site in the region, with its unique blend of architectural styles including Vietnamese, Chinese, and Cambodian influences. Take some time to admire its intricate carvings, stunning Buddha statues, and peaceful surroundings.
Afterward, embark on a boat trip on the Mekong River, one of the world's most significant rivers. Cruise along the water, passing through small canals and by lush green islands, to visit the fruit gardens on the islets. These islands are home to abundant orchards that produce tropical fruits like longan, rambutan, and mango. You’ll also have the chance to stop at traditional peasant houses on the islet, where you can interact with the locals and experience their way of life. The boat ride offers a unique opportunity to see the vibrant ecosystem of the Mekong Delta and appreciate the beauty of rural Vietnam.
For lunch, enjoy a typical Mekong Delta meal at a local restaurant, where you can savor fresh seafood and other regional specialties that highlight the flavors of the delta. The meal will give you a true taste of local cuisine, which emphasizes fresh ingredients and delicate seasonings.
In the afternoon, return to Ho Chi Minh City. You’ll have some free time to relax or explore the city at your own leisure, perhaps enjoying some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.
