May 22, 2021 Darleen Reid

Can Tho is the main city of the Mekong Delta, the "nine dragon river delta" where the Mekong River empties into the South China Sea. It's also the main transportation center for the region. The extensive canals make for a pleasant boat ride, and the nearby floating markets offer authentic goods and exotic local fruit. *Fly into Ho Chi Minh City International Airport where you can take a car or van (approximately 4 hours) to Can Tho.

Very interesting - husks are separated from rice. Ground the rice and made rice flour, added water and made pancake like batter. Very thin crepes were made on skillet and dried for 2-3 hours and then cut into noodles.

Ong Temple

Reviewed By robertgA7875KT

A beautiful very old temple, a place of worship to be respected. Take your shoes off, step over the threshold not on the board that runs across. In all religious temples and pagodas ask if you can take photos, these places werent built for tourists they are part of the culture and serve the needs of the population, we are priveleged to be allowed in them. Many beautiful pagodas in Vietnam all good places to go and contemplate your own life and to pray for others and the world in general. Go there with a good heart and a willingness to learn and you will come away better for the experience.

Munirangsyaram Pagoda

Reviewed By bakaroni

I accidentally stumbled upon this temple after lunch one day. It's a nice little place to spend a few minutes in contemplation. The monks at the temple are very friendly. The head monk invited me to his office, offered tea and chatted with me for a while. One of the most uplifting, off-the-beaten-track, comforting experiences I've had during my travels.
