Set roughly halfway between My Tho and Can Tho in Vinh Long Province, Vinh Long is an idyllic town boasting gorgeous temples, a delightful floating market, and a wonderful island, as well as plenty of restaurants and services. The beautiful Co Chien River, lined by colourful orchards and farms, is home to the Cai Be Floating Market, where visitors can buy deliciously fresh produce and souvenirs while watching the sunrise, as part of a boat tour of the area. Cruises and tours also visit the pretty An Binh Island, where guests can also rent bicycles to explore. Culture enthusiasts should make sure to visit the fascinating Van Thanh Mieu (Temple of Literature) and the historic and rare Confucian Van Thanh Mieu Temple. While you’re here, make sure to try the local, freshly made sugarcane juice.
