Phu Ly Khmer pagodaThe boat will cruise on the Mekong River and then keep going deep into the countryside and canals for reaching the Phu Ly pagoda. Walking around the pagoda, you will feel the peace, airy but no less ancient thanks to the appearance of ancient trees and palm trees. Khmer Phu Ly Pagoda (built in 1672) is an ancient temple in Vinh Long with beautiful & peaceful landscape. This building is the interference between Indian, Thai and Cambodian architecture, creating a unique feature that few temples have.

The hidden traditional village of making tofu skinThe boat takes you to the hidden traditional village of making tofu skin. This traditional job (1912) was recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage in August 2022. You have a chance to see the locals and learn how the tofu skin - food product is made from soybeans. During the boiling of soy milk, in an open shallow pan, a film or skin composed primarily of a soy protein-lipid complex forms on the liquid surface. The films are collected and dried into yellowish sheets known as tofu skin.

Can Tho Rice Noodle Factory & Villages
Nowadays, there are more and more green and responsible tours which are meaningful and educational as well. This is why Can Tho noodle factory is getting popular for both Vietnamese and foreigners to come and explore the cuisine culture and the typical local life in Can Tho, Mekong Delta.
Là người Việt nhưng mình vẫn thấy bất ngờ vì chưa bao giờ nghe đến chùa Khmer Phú Lý. Kiến trúc rất đặc biệt, vừa quen vừa lạ, và khung cảnh cực kỳ yên bình, không khí thoáng đãng và rất nhiều cây xanh cổ thụ.
Ấn tượng nhất với mình là làng nghề làm tàu hủ ky. Chưa từng thấy quy trình đó ngoài đời – rất tỉ mỉ, công phu, và… yên tĩnh. Cảm giác như mọi thứ ở đây vận hành nhẹ nhàng, không vội vã.
Trạm dừng cuối là làng ươm cây ven sông, cực kỳ dễ thương, cảm giác giống một khu vườn xanh mát kéo dài đến tận chân trời.
Cảm ơn anh Chris đã dẫn tụi mình đi một tour cực kỳ ý nghĩa.
After seeing floating markets and canals in other tours, I didn’t expect much. But this one surprised me deeply. It took us into a different layer of the Mekong – more spiritual, more rural, and honestly, more intimate.
The Phu Ly pagoda was stunning. Its serenity got to me, especially with the giant trees all around. The tofu skin part? So cool! Watching it being made by hand from steaming soy milk was like watching silk form out of nowhere.
And the plant village? Peaceful, local, and full of life. I walked away calmer, happier, and more connected to the place. Hannah was the best guide – warm, funny, and full of knowledge.
