Your Mekong adventure begins as you board a modern, air-conditioned van in the early morning, ready to leave the bustle of Ho Chi Minh City behind. The journey south takes you to Tien Giang, a peaceful province nestled along the Mekong River, about 1.5 hours away.
After arriving, your first stop is the impressive Vinh Trang Pagoda. Spanning over 2,000 square meters, this grand Buddhist sanctuary blends traditional Vietnamese architecture with French, Khmer, and Chinese influences. This makes this nineteenth-century pagoda a unique cultural gem.
When you stroll through the peaceful grounds, you'll admire intricate statues, including a towering Buddha, and gain a deeper understanding of Vietnam's religious heritage.
