The flood season usually lasts from September to November every year, also known as the Mekong River flood season.
With the unique beauty of the country's water, the West wears the alluvial, rich beauty of shrimp and fish, the brilliant yellow color of the frankish flowers... This is also a good time for boat and boat trips to explore the beauty of the Southwest region.
When coming to Can Tho, visitors can go to the Spring Tourist Area (in Phung Hiep district, the old Hau Giang province). Here, visitors can see the vast forests, canals intertwined with a diverse vegetation system.
After experiencing activities such as going by boat to get into the forest, fishing, cycling through the forest... visitors can enjoy dishes with a strong flavor of identity such as fish sauce, grilled snakehead fish, grilled yellow catfish, banh xeo...
Coming to the Cu Lao Dung mangrove ecotourism area (Cu Lao Dung district, old Soc Trang province), right from the moment you set foot here, you will experience rowing boats and canoes on the river. The peace of the river area is not dusty, no noise, only the sound of birds calling the flock and the salty scent of the sea wind blowing through the green canopy and canopy.
When you directly set foot, follow the bamboo bridge road through the mangrove forest, sparkling water reflecting the sky and clouds, each span of the bamboo bridge becomes as soft as a silk strip leading visitors deep into the " fairy tale forest".
Leaving Can Tho, the journey takes visitors to Tram Chim National Park (Dong Thap) - the world's 2,000th Ramsar site in 2012. During the flood season, the National Park puts on its majestic natural beauty, covered in green by cajuput, lotus, guns and nangity grass.
In addition, visitors can row a boat through the cajuput forest, catch fish, pick wild sunflowers, enjoy rustic dishes such as hotpot with guns and grilled field gourds.
Traveling in the West during the flood season is not only a journey to explore nature but also an opportunity to feel the unique river culture and hospitality of the local people. Before the wild beauty, I love to hear the waves waving the river wharf, and to preserve sweet memories of the land of "white rice, clear water".
