Today's ride allows us to explore perfect countryside settings with different sceneries through Ben Tre, Tra Vinh and rustic Dung island in Soc Trang. Firstly, the easy ride on bike paths lined-coconut trees that leads you through the rural villages. Enjoy small ferry boats crossing the water channels with many stops at the local home, running sweets, snacks, and other farming products before another ferry takes us to Tra Vinh City. Break for lunch in town.
Secondly, we can learn about Khmer culture and history by stopping at the ancient temples and seeing Khmer people working on farmlands and rice paddy fields on well-maintained crisscross paths, visiting the homes of locals, and experiencing their lives.
Thirdly, from Cau Quan, we will take a ferry to Dung Island, where we'll explore the way locals earn a living on this Island. Ride past a betel garden, sugar cane plantation, vegetable farmlands and fresh fish farms before a ferry taking to Long Phu town. Our private vehicle is on standby here near this town. We get on our truck for half an hour driving to the City of Soc Trang.
