2. Trip’s itinerary
Day 1: Ho Chi Minh City – Vinh Long (-/L/D)
Start from your hotel at 8AM for 2.5 hours drive escaping the crowded and chaotic
Saigon for Vinh Long Province deep in the Mekong delta.
With the total length of more than 4,800 km starts from Tibet in China running though
other 5 countries including Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam before
reaching the sea, Mekong is the world's 12th-longest river. With millions tons of silt
carried along its current, the River has day by day filled up the Mekong delta (Cuu Long
delta in Vietnamese) and made it the largest and most fertile land in the country.
The Delta is home of beautiful tropical fruits, vegetable and rice that make up almost half
of Vietnam's total agricultural output.
Upon arrival in Vinh Long we will take a boat cruise on the mighty Mekong River. The
first stop will be made for you to visit the local cottage industry where you will observe
the manual working process with mud, clay and fire to make simple but beautiful bricks
and potteries.
Cross the river and get to a beautiful green island where you will have lunch in a local
home restaurant. After lunch, our boat will take you on a fascinating Mekong cruise on
meandering canals through green villages with spectacular sights of local life on the
