Exploring the West River of Vietnam : The last part, discover Can Tho, enjoy food on the floating market, and visit Truc Lam Zen Monastery

Hi everyone!

It's been quite a while. Half a month ago, I was very busy with work, and my health was so bad that I couldn't tell stories and trips with everyone. I have a lot of work to do today, so I left relatively early, so I came here to continue sharing the story of the trip with everyone.

This is also the last part of our group's 7 day trip to the west. Then we go back to Ho Chi Minh city to go back to Da Nang. where we live and work.

At the end of the 6th day of the trip, we reached the city of Can Tho. Get a room in the city and take a walk around the center of Can Tho in the evening. visit Ninh Kieu wharf, and go to dinner and snacks there.

Ninh Kieu wharf at night is quite splendid, the snacks here are very diverse, and the commuters are quite crowded and bustling...

After walking for a while, it was quite late, and tired, so we went back to our room and went to bed to have the strength to wake up early the next day to go to Cai Rang Can Tho floating market. This is a very typical and interesting early morning market, when coming to the West, everyone must try it once.

Even though it was early in the morning, the boats were very crowded. Before the sun had risen, the boats were already running up and down. buyer, the seller. all kinds of goods, from food, drink, fruit, and living items,... there are big boats, there are small boats, going up and down...

Enjoying hot noodles right on the boat is very interesting, the waves make the boat bob up and down. To eat without spilling is also an art. Or enjoy a cup of coffee on it. It's one of those wonderful feelings. while looking at the boat going up and down, watching the sunrise gradually. or the small merchant transferring fruit from one boat to another juggling very rhythmically and skillfully...

After a while of eating and watching the floating market, we decided to move to the next point in the journey to discover Can Tho, which is Truc Lam Zen Monastery in Can Tho.

It didn't take long to find the way to that temple. The temple is quite large, the architecture is made very solemn and majestic but also has ancient features. In the ponds in the monastery, there are leaves like lotus leaves but not very large lotus leaves. If you have a chance, please visit...

After that, we check out and return to Ho Chi Minh city. which is the starting point of the trip.

Our 7 day trip to the west was very enjoyable. We can experience the daily life in another region of our country, enjoy the very delicious and strange cuisine here, and feel the simplicity and warmth of the people in the West. set foot on the sacred and historic lands of the country that were previously known only through geography, history, or on newspapers and television. experience the feeling of freedom and freedom when traveling on a motorbike, mastering our own schedule... It was a very beautiful and refreshing time for us.

Here, I will end my trip to the West with my friends. Everyone can review the previous posts on my wall, remember to leave your comments to let me know. thanks, everyone. and see you all on the next trip.
