HCM CITY — The flood season is not only a source of livelihood for people in the Mekong Delta but also offers its tourism industry a golden opportunity.
Although the flood season this year came later than usual, travel agencies took the opportunity to organise boat tours of the delta.
Suitable for those looking for weekend trips, the sites include natural landscapes such as green duckweed-covered Tra Su cajuput forest and Tram Chim National Park, one of Viet Nam’s eight most important bird sanctuaries and impressive with its immense lotus fields.
Furthermore, there are many specialties found exclusively in the flooding season such as linh fish and dien dien flower hot pot.
Saigontourist continues to offer “Experiencing the Flooding Season” tours, which include a two-day trip to Chau Doc, Tra Su cajuput forest and a floating fish-cage village or to Sa Dec, Long Xuyen, Ong Ho Islet and Long Xuyen floating market or Cao Lanh, and Tam Nong bird sanctuary. — VNS
