Chim is a small islet on the Co Chien River. To get there, tourists need to board a ferry at Ba Tram ferry dock, also known as Phuong Vinh – Long Hung ferry dock, with motorbikes parked at a local’s house.

The Tra Vinh tourism department launched the Chim Islet community-based tourism site in Chau Thanh District in September last year.

Chim Islet has managed to preserve the bucolic integrity of the Mekong Delta countryside, with distinguishing features like small lodges roofed by coconut canopies, and big water jars in front of each house.

The islet is currently inhabited by 54 families with 214 members.

The islet also boasts varied snacks and food to please tourists. Each household serves a different dish, in compliance with official arrangements, to diversify the tourist experience.

Tourists can enjoy a full authentic meal from the traditional cooking crafts of Mekong Delta locals.

After the meal, they can take a ride around the islet, and sample special desserts like coconut cakes with apricot leaves or pineapple-leaf juice.

My Hoa Tofu skin craft village in Vinh Long

"The famous tofu skin craft village in Mỹ Hòa Commune, Bình Minh District, Vĩnh Long Province has existed for more than a hundred years.

In recent years, as more people have become vegetarian, tofu skin, which is an essential ingredient of vegetarian dishes, has been much embraced, bolstering production activities in Mỹ Hòa Commune.

According to the Vĩnh Long Province Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, in 1912, Châu Xường from Guangdong, China, together with his wife and two sons Châu Khoánh and Châu Sầm, moved to Việt Nam.

They brought with them the traditional craft of making tofu skin and chose Mỹ Hòa as a place to settle down.

Châu Sầm is the grandfather of Nguyễn Văn Công, who said that from the original seven pans to make tofu skin, the establishment now has 36 pans.

Mỹ Hòa tofu skin craft village is located along the river in Mỹ Khánh Hamlet, and Nguyễn Văn Công’s family is one of the oldest tofu skin producers here. Công has recently passed on the profession to his son.

According to Công, his family’s establishment makes 80 kilogrammes of tofu skin from 200 kilogrammes of soybeans everyday and with a selling price of VNĐ120,000 (US$4.😎 per kilogramme of finished tofu skin, his family can cover all living expenses during 15 to 20 days of work every month.

In the months with significant full moon days such as January, July, October and December of the lunar calendar, workload will be more heavy due to the increase in demand for vegetarian food using tofu skin.

The whole process of producing tofu skin is done by members of Công’s family. Now that Công is old, he only helps his children when needed.

“My family consists of me, my wife, daughter, son and five grandchildren. This heirloom profession not only feeds us but also supports five children, of which one is studying at university,” Công said, adding that all products must meet food hygiene and safety standards.

Though the making of tofu skin is mainly passed down in the family line, some still hire neighbours to help. Gradually, many locals in Mỹ Hòa have learned how to make tofu skin, thereby forming a crowded craft village.

Quality tofu skin in Mỹ Hòa is not only used in vegetarian dishes, but has become an essential ingredient in many savoury dishes."...

The largest golden pagoda in Tra Vinh

The splendid Vam Ray Pagoda lies about 40 km from Tra Vinh city in Vam Ray Hamlet, Ham Tan Commune, Tra Cu District. This pagoda was inaugurated in May 2010 on the foundations of a 600-year-old temple. Bearing the architectural style of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, it is one of the largest and most beautiful Khmer temples in Vietnam.
The temple's gate is painted gold, while the main hall is a glittering golden palace, surrounded by Yeak statues. In the middle of the yard lies a soaring pillar supported by other columns shaped like five-headed holy Naga snakes. Another highlight is a 54m-long statue of Gautama Buddha entering Nirvana, placed on a pedestal as tall as a two-story house. The entire statue and pedestal are painted gold.

The ebb and flow of life

The tidal season brings both joy and sorrow to Vietnam's Southwest, which lacks the long mountain ranges that crisscross other regions. This landscape has nurtured generous and easy-going people, who have harnessed the tides' power to build their own culture. Crossing the tide-fed Southwestern delta, eye-catching scenes flashed past: houses floating on vast expanses of water and boats making ripples in the sunset.

We waded through the waters of Thap Muoi to drench ourselves in the swirling fragrance of lotus flowers, then rushed to Tan Chau Wharf to reach An Giang – D**g Thap, the land of the headwaters. We rode back to Chau Doc in the lush, green season when the paddy's ears were growing and dropped by Tri Ton and Tinh Bien to stand silently under palmyra palms. We yelled ourselves hoarse applauding the bull races at Ro Pagoda, and admired how Khmer people weave their fabric and the haunting, deep eyes of Cham girls in Da Phuoc.

The land of the nine soaring dragons

When it flows into Vietnam, the Mekong - the Mother of Rivers – gains a beautiful and fitting new name: the Nine Dragons. The river splits into two main streams, the Tien Giang and the Hau Giang. Further on, it splits in many directions, accreting more alluvial sediments before reaching the Eastern Sea via nine streams. For this reason, our forefathers named the delta the Cuu Long, or Nine Dragons, upon exploring this southern region. I was inspired to follow the nine winding streams to the sea to explore the Nine Dragons Delta.

According to the Tabula Geographica Imperii Anamitici by Jean-Louis Taberd, published in 1838, the Nine Dragons River had nine river mouths. From the north to the south they were: the Tieu Estuary, Dai Estuary, Ba Lai, Ham Luong, Co Chien (on the Tien River), Cung Hau, Dinh An, Ba Thac, and Tran De (on the Hau River).

Today, the Ba Lai Estuary in Ben Tre province has been replaced by a series of anti-salinization dams that were commissioned in 2002. According to old documents, Ba Thac Estuary was located in Dung Islet in Tra Vinh, but even the locals cannot recall its former location. The reason is simple: over time and due to the constant accretion of alluvial soil, as well as natural changes in river flows, Ba Thac Estuary has long been buried. Therefore, only seven estuaries remain from the legendary Nine Dragons River.

No matter how great nature's changes, what’s important is that the Mother River has created a peaceful land that's formed the foundation for one of the most diverse and culturally rich communities in Vietnam, making great contributions to our cultural heritage. Centuries have passed since Lord Nguyen explored this wilderness and established sovereignty. Thanks to its many rivers, Vietnam's Cuu Long Delta is a region where many unique attributes meet. It is home to a hospitable rustic culture.
