The pagoda’s style is an elegant blend of West and East; it’s truly a sight to behold.

Check out the coconut candy shop to learn how to make candy and see handicrafts made from coconuts. Afterward, take an amazing rowing boat trip along the island's small creeks, shaded by large coconuts, to a local restaurant, then enjoy special Vietnamese dishes (vegetarian options are available).

After lunch, visitors can ride a bike or a horse-drawn carriage around the village, immerse themselves in the lives of local people, and enjoy the beauty of the coconut land before heading back to Ho Chi Minh, ending the Mekong Delta day tour from Ho Chi Minh.
