Being the municipality of Tien Giang Province, My Tho is a city located about 86 kilometers away from Ho Chi Minh City and also one of the prominent tourist attractions not to be missed in Mekong Delta. Like many other provinces in the fertile regions of the delta, the major economy of the city is agricultural products including rice and tropical fruits. The city also features several inviting sites and pleasant things to explore, especially about the rustic local life on the rivers and amidst the lush orchards.
Besides the charming rural scenes of rice fields & orchards, peaceful villages, poetic river, and floating houses, tourists will catch common greenery of coconut and nipa trees that occupy most of its land. The most favorite tourist activities here are taking a sightseeing boat ride on Tien River, experiencing the funny bumpy ride on a horse-cart, enjoying an authentic performance of traditional Vietnamese music (Don Ca Tai Tu – an iconic form of folklore opera in Southern Vietnam only), visiting farms and learning how to make local candies or participating in rowing a small boat in a canal.
A common day tour itinerary exploring My Tho from Ho Chi Minh City will often focus on the local experiences helping visitors get an up-close and personal overview of My Tho in particular and Mekong Delta in general. Boarding a motorboat from the pier, guests will enjoy the excursion on the river and witness the scenery as well as ways of life on both of the river banks. When reaching a lush and beautiful islet amidst the great stream, get ready for a uniquely traditional music show performed by the local artisans with the taste of seasonal tropical fruits could be included. Then a hassle-free ride on a small hand-rowing boat slowly sneaking into small creeks and canals and pleasantly witnessing beautiful overhanging trees and the daily life of the locals here is awaiting you to experience. The rest parts of the trip will be leisurely strolling along the village roads, passing through a bee farm before learning about coconut candies making process from a workshop, and having the chance to taste this kind of local delicacy after a motorboat ride. Through these hands-on activities, the authentic farm and orchard culture as well as the colorful daily life and the warmth of happy-go-lucky people in My Tho will leave you unforgettable memories about a fertile, bustling, exotic yet charming land of Mekong Delta.
