Cao Lanh - Sadec - Can Tho

Get some carbohydrates and local dishes, then begin today's ride with 10 minutes vehicle drive you to the start point in town. We cycle on a narrow lane that takes us to the town's outskirts. It's a great time to explore the rural riverside villages in the morning, ride through mango orchards, some small crouching markets which start in the early morning at corners and forks in rural villages, where locals pass by in the morning. We catch a ferry boat to the other side of the Mekong River, ride on shady pathways along rustic villages, enjoy different sceneries of the countryside. Stop off a famous flower village in Sadec. Enjoy coffee, take a walk through, experience the ways to grow the finest flowers and learn more about many beautiful small plants.


Afterward, we ride into Sadec, a small town located by the river. Break for lunch at the quaint house, and the house belonged to Mr Huynh Thuy Le, who was the lover of Marguerite Duras. Marguerite Duras was the daughter of a French family living in Sadec, running the school in town. She fell in love with Mr. Huynh Thuy Le in Sadec from 1928 to 1932. She was a French novelist. Later their love story got into the movie " The Lover". Sadec is one of the last remnants of old Indochina in Vietnam, still displaying it’s French architectural heritage in French-built villas along the canal. Visit a colorful local market before the afternoon leisurely ride as we cycle slowly and enjoy the scenic scenery. We pass a village making rice power and sweet potato plantation. Take a rest on the vehicle transfer to Can Tho city. Check-in the hotel, and take the rest of the day, and have dinner in town.
