On their first visit to the Mekong Delta, tourists will feel as if they have been cleansed of their everyday worries and immersed in a captivating, remote land with pristine scenery and the warm hospitality of the local people. Come here to watch the Mekong Delta girls driving motorboats with cars attached to the back, speeding along the canals and creating splashes of white water – a powerful impression not unlike the image of "Binh Dinh girls performing martial arts with whips and staffs."
And as many people dream of, tourists will be satisfied when they set foot on Ca Mau Cape - the southernmost point of the country, resembling a tiger's claw on the map, located more than 100km from the center of Ca Mau city. Here, there is a very diverse and rich mangrove forest ecosystem. There are also landmarks such as the national coordinate marker and a boat-shaped monument marking the geographical location of Ca Mau Cape.
A stroll through Ca Mau city is also a delightful experience. Visitors can visit Khmer-style temples (the most famous being Monivonsa Bopharam Pagoda located right in the city center), Quan Am Ancient Pagoda (dating back to the mid-19th century), or Chinese temples. Equally captivating is the exploration of the "bird garden in the heart of the city," home to tens of thousands of birds at the Cultural Park. The fascinating thing is that through a canal less than 6 meters wide, visitors can witness tens of thousands of birds – egrets, herons, storks, ducks, and other wading birds – swooping down to the dense mangrove forests and bamboo groves.
And last but not least, visitors also have the opportunity to experience the flavors of the South by trying delicious specialties of the Ca Mau region such as U Minh bee pupa salad, fried field mouse with lemongrass and chili, Ca Mau water spinach, grilled snakehead fish, and catfish porridge…
