Destinations imbued with the river and water imprints and unique culture of Can Tho land promise to help tourists have unforgettable experiences during the April 30-5 holiday.

Con Son - a peaceful "island" in the middle of the Hau River

Located in the middle of the gentle Hau River, Con Son (Binh Thuy ward) appears as a green oasis completely separated from the bustle of Tay Do city. Hidden behind the simple beauty of the Ban trees and fruit orchards is a spectacular "makeover" journey in community tourism.

Coming to Con Son today, visitors will be treated to an interesting experience "party": from watching snakehead fish flying with unique frog circus to learning to make folk cakes by hand, experiencing exploding young rice flakes at people's houses.

Even the meal to treat guests is a meaningful cooperation of the whole neighborhood. One house contributes grilled fish, the other house brings a pot of fish sauce hotpot, the other house serves a plate of fresh green vegetables. This decent tourism approach not only tightens village and neighborhood relations but also helps protect the unique tourism brand of the locality.

Cai Rang floating market - a unique river and water culture

Visiting Cai Rang floating market is an opportunity for tourists to fully feel the rhythm of life and unique cuisine of the Mekong Delta. The exploration journey usually starts at 5:30 am from Ninh Kieu wharf. Here, you will be able to weave through hundreds of boats and enjoy breakfast right on the waves.
