After returning to your boat, you'll cross the Mekong River, one of the world's longest rivers, to An Bình Island. Here, you'll enjoy a delicious local lunch and then have the afternoon to explore this peaceful and green island. Your cultural immersion continues as you walk through an orchard, sipping tea and listening to traditional music in an ancient house. You'll then visit local workshops to learn the traditional crafts of rice paper making, coconut candy making, and pop rice making.
Embark the boat again and head to Vinh Long City, where a comfortable air-conditioned car awaits us to drive to Vung Liem. Cross the local ferry to the enthusiastic homestay on Long Island, famous for its orchard and sedge fields and handmade products made from sedge. Check-in and make friends with the family. You will have a chance to practice making pancakes—the speciality of the Mekong people.
After dinner, we warmly engage in a cultural exchange with local people, where you can ask questions about their lives, share your own experiences, and learn about their traditions. Overnight at local house.
As we bid farewell to our local hosts and make our way back to the city, we'll take a ferry ride to Vung Liem. Here, we'll have the privilege of visiting an ancient Khmer pagoda, a sacred site first built in 632 and later rebuilt in 1377. This place is of immense cultural significance, and we encourage you to take a moment to appreciate its beauty and history. Our journey continues as we return to Vinh Long, passing through vast rice fields and witnessing the age-old harvesting process.
Our final stop is the bustling Vinh Long market in Vinh Long City. This vibrant hub is a feast for the senses, offering a kaleidoscope of colours, sounds, and aromas. It's a great place to capture the essence of local life, with its variety of fish, shrimp, prawns, crabs, snakes, rice rats, tropical fruits, and vegetables. Take your time to explore and take pictures, immersing yourself in the lively atmosphere. Our tour concludes at the end of the afternoon in Saigon, leaving you with a treasure trove of memories.
