delta-mekongOne of the other tourist attractions we visited was the Mekong River Delta, located about 70 km from Ho Chi Minh City, about two hour by bus. I really do not imagine we’ll be taken to a muddy creek, much like in the area Ciliwung Condet, East Jakarta, and then brought up the boat. It turned out that our boat into the Mekong River are large, the width from edge to edge of about 3 km.

In the Mekong Delta there are four major islands. We went to one of the Unicorn Island, covering an area approximately 10 km square.
Not much of what we see in there, only the bee farm and agricultural products. We were sitting in saung saung-long, enjoying hot tea, fruits, while entertained three parents who play traditional instruments like fiddle, guitar and drums. Then the children are singing. Not extraordinary, but it was the kindness and sincerity in receiving tourists, and their spirit.
From the place we were taken down klengkeng gardens led to a small canal three meters wide, which divides the island. There was waiting canoes with the women as pendayungnya. Each boat contained only three passengers and two rowers. Our Be it far down the canal about two miles, till he came back to the Mekong Delta where our ship was waiting. The scene here is not extraordinary, but can describe some people’s lives there.

Seeing the beauty Veitnam, especially Ho Chi Minh city, spooky shadows of this country were soon erased from the mind. Ho Chi Minh City even more beautiful and greater than Phnom Penh in Cambodia, and even more advanced than Rangoon in Myanmar.
