Mekong Delta

From Ho Chi Minh City we take a day trip to the Mekong Delta, a unique region where life on the water has remained unchanged for centuries. We take the boat and cruise around the canals trying to avoid touristy places like market. We stop at several little islands to visit brickets production site, honey bee keepers, coconut candy factory and bamboo mat producers.

The water is brown.
But all the boats have colorful eyes.
