2. Binh Thuy Ancient House

Visiting the Binh Thuy ancient house, steeped in the culture of the Western region, the tour group admired the more than 150-year-old architectural structure with its unique blend of Vietnamese, Chinese, and French styles. The Binh Thuy ancient house still retains the distinctive ancient beauty of Can Tho with its delicate and meticulous carvings on the columns, archways, and house edges. A noteworthy aspect of the structure is the harmonious blend of Eastern and Western cultures and architecture, while still highlighting the pure Vietnamese spirit.

Concluding the first day of Amazing Tour 8, the group visited Ninh Kieu Night Market. Here, a wide variety of goods are sold, but the street food is particularly appealing. Visiting this market is not only about experiencing and enjoying Can Tho's specialties, but also about meeting, getting to know, and understanding more about the people of Tay Do (Can Tho). Each scene in the market has its own unique charm, creating a vibrant picture of Can Tho's culture and people.

5. Tan Loc Island

Upon arriving at Tan Loc Island, the tour group felt immersed in the "sweet island" of the Western region. The sweetness came not only from fruits like guava, pear, coconut, and pineapple in the orchards, but also from the warm hospitality of the people of the Mekong Delta. Under the cool shade of coconut trees, the visitors had many enjoyable experiences, making them love even more the simple, pristine beauty of the Mekong Delta.

Early on the third morning of Amazing Tour 8, the tour group arrived at Cai Rang floating market, a highlight of the capital of the Mekong Delta. The unique cultural life and trade of the people of Tay Do (Can Tho) were clearly evident on the boats and canoes cruising along the river. Immersed in the fresh, cool air, listening to the waves lapping against the boat, admiring the boats overflowing with produce, and drifting along the water, one might find themselves lost in the stories of the genuine, charming people...
