The Mekong's fish and farmer market (no-touristy)

Visit the Mekong's fish and farmer market (no-touristy) lets you see the Delta's true heartbeat. It's where locals trade fresh fish, fruits, and produce in a lively, authentic setting untouched by mass tourism. You'll witness real daily life, colorful scenes, and the spirit of community that sustains the Mekong.

Around 7:30 AM, get in the car in Can Tho countryside and depart for the forest.

The Lung Ngoc Hoang nature reserve, 2,800-hectare forest, is an ideal destination for nature lovers

About an hour drive from Can Tho city, the Lung Ngoc Hoang 2,800-hectare wetland conservation is one of Can Tho hidden gems for anyone who loves to see a real Mekong Delta beside Can Tho floating market. Exploring and weaving in the untouched wetland of the Mekong delta by boat gives the best experience about the nature & forest. Wonderful natural green canals and feeling like nowhere in Vietnam. Then, get to the 25-meter observation tower to enjoy the fascinating view over the wetland forest and the stunning seasonal rice fields. (About one and a half hours in the forest, more or less, depend on your speed and sightseeing time). Take an amazing light trekking about 1,2km (or boat again, transfer back to the station if you do not want the easy trekking with the flat path) in nature.
