Contempla el puerto colonial lleno de edificios coloniales en ruinas y jardines floridos. Desembarca para visitar la catedral católica francesa, la iglesia más alta del delta del Mekong, con su impresionante campanario. Después, visita una fábrica de papel de arroz y caramelos de coco y aprende cómo se hacen estos sabrosos favoritos vietnamitas.
Regresa al barco y siéntate a comer mientras navegas hacia la pintoresca ciudad de Sa Dec. Al llegar, explora Sa Dec a pie y conoce a algunos vendedores en el mercado. Desde pescado hasta verduras de hoja y mangos, los mercados son un derroche de color y actividad. Continúa pasando por mansiones en ruinas junto al agua hasta llegar a la casa del Sr. Huynh Thuy Le, que inspiró la novela L'Amant (El Amante) de la escritora francesa Marguerite Duras. Escucha los relatos de esta trágica historia de amor chino-vietnamita contada por tu guía local.
