Leaving Thuan Hung rice paper village, the tour group took a ferry to Tan Loc islet, known as the "sweet island" of Tay Do.
Tan Loc Islet, formerly known as Tam Tinh Islet, connects three provinces: An Giang, Dong Thap and Can Tho. This place is located in the middle of Hau River, formed from the resonance of alluvium and sand from the Mekong River. Therefore, this place is also known as Sa Chau.

When it was first formed, Tan Loc Islet was just a wild land covered with reeds. Local residents reclaimed the land and mainly lived by raking for mussels, clams, bung bung chang chang, and catching snails. Later, people switched to raising fish by floating rafts, from which the islet was nicknamed "fishing village". Currently, Tan Loc Islet has an area of 3,200 hectares, rich alluvial soil has become a valuable resource to develop diverse fruit gardens. From these gardens, residents have taken advantage of the opportunity to develop tourism, as a new bright spot for Tan Loc Islet.

Travel Blogger Vinh Gau shared: "When I arrived at the island, there were many activities for me to experience such as going to the guava garden, rowing a boat, picking coconuts... What Vinh liked most was to experience eating the very crunchy, delicious, naturally sweet guavas. It can be said that these were the best guavas I had ever eaten in the West, with a bowl of crushed chili salt, which further enhanced the flavor. It was just a pity that they were wrapped in plastic bags to avoid being eaten by worms and squirrels, so the whole group did not have the opportunity to see the 'naked' guavas on the tree."

After visiting the guava orchard, the tour group moved to Tan Loc coconut orchard. This place brings visitors a journey to immerse themselves in the world of fresh coconuts, with a series of unique straight coconut trees, winding through small canals. When visiting this coconut orchard, visitors will be able to relax on a small boat, weave through the cool coconut forest and admire the natural beauty of the Western garden. Tan Loc coconut orchard has a variety of coconuts, from fire coconut, pineapple coconut to Siamese coconut. Surely, enjoying fresh coconuts directly in the garden will bring an interesting feeling and absolute satisfaction to all visitors.
Rowing a boat through the coconut trees is an experience worth trying when you come here.
Everyone is excited about the interesting experiences here.
"It's very cool here, the big coconut trees with the sunlight shining through look so beautiful, interspersed with canals, Vinh and his friends rowed boats past the coconut trees, it looked very poetic. The coconuts here are sweet, enjoying them in this setting is really interesting", Travel Blogger Vinh Gau excitedly added.
In addition to the garden experiences, Vinh Gau and his friends were also impressed with the cuisine here. Dishes such as banh xeo, chicken salad, fried fish, and banh bo look very familiar but have a unique flavor that can only be found here.
