Tân Châu

A Look at Vietnam’s Fascinating Folkways Get an up-close look at the deeply traditional side of rural Vietnam. You will meet your guide at your ship and board an authentic wooden sampan for your transfer ashore to the bustling border town of Tân Châu. Upon arrival, embark by rickshaw with an expert driver for an orientation ride past the central market, religious sites and shops. Afterward, reboard your sampan and set off along the Bassac canal, viewing life along the waterway as you travel to a floating fish farm. As you browse the facility with your host, you will learn how this important food source is harvested. Continue your leisurely boat ride to Vinh Hoa, known as “Evergreen Island.” Here, take a short walk to see some locals demonstrate traditional Vietnamese farming, craft making and other daily activities. At the end of your tour, you will return to your awaiting ship. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines.
