Mekong Delta
Travel To Vietnam April 2nd, 2010
One of the other tourist visit is worth in the Mekong River Delta, located about 70 km from Ho Chi Minh City, about two hour by bus. Maybe for the visitors could not imagine being taken to a muddy creek, much like in the area Ciliwung Condet, East Jakarta, and then brought up the boat.
After the boat ride will visitors to the great Mekong River, its width from edge to edge of about 3 km. In the Mekong Delta there are four major islands. and one of them is Island of the Unicorn, the extent of about 10 square kilometers. The island the visitor will see a bee farm and agricultural products.
The visitors can sit relaxed, enjoying hot tea, fruits, while entertained three parents who play traditional instruments like fiddle, guitar and drums. Then the children are singing. It is not unusual, but it was the kindness and sincerity in receiving tourists, and their spirit. From there the visitors brought along gardens leads to a small canal three meters wide, which divides the island. There was waiting canoes with the women. Each boat contained only three passengers and two rowers. Be the visitors were far down the canal about two miles, till he came back to the Mekong Delta where the ship was waiting. The scene could describe a life of communities around the Mekong River.
