Chau Doc is a small but well-known town due to its international border gates—both land and water—that facilitate travel between Vietnam and Cambodia. Our cycling journey here is easy and relaxing, taking us along the scenic banks of the Mekong River. We'll make a stop at a local mosque and ride on quiet village paths, where you can observe farmers tending to vegetables, chili, eggplants, water rice fields, and fish farms along natural creeks. In the afternoon, we explore Gieng Islet by bicycle, passing by an architecturally striking monastery, bustling local markets, and traditional stilt houses before crossing by ferry to the mainland. We then continue riding along peaceful backroads through lush mango orchards on our way to Cao Lanh city.
