The Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta city of Can Tho has launched five new tours of up to two days that take in popular destinations, food, culture, and other entertainment.

They take visitors to the Cai Rang and Phong Dien floating markets, Sau Hoai rice noodle factory, Southern Truc Lam zen monastery, My Khanh tourism village, Giao Duong orchard and Binh Thuy traditional house.

Cai Rang, a speciality market around 4km from Ninh Kieu wharf, sells mostly fruits and other agricultural produce. Hundreds of people in boats begin selling their goods early in the morning and end by 8-9am. — VNS
