Enjoy an hour motorized boat to catfish farms and floating villages. Then we bike on a small road along Bassac River, past Muslim villages, the local market and verdant vegetation, pedal along Bassac River. Muslim Cham Ethnic is the second largest group after Viet Kinh people living in small Chau Doc town. Women still weave traditional clothing at home, and the particular is the sarong. There are plenty of chances for us to learn about different cultures. Take a small ferry to cross Bassac River to wetlands- Dong Thap province. 

We stop at the local market by the river, have fresh snack fruits, and find something interesting; next, we cycle through stilted house villages, colourful Buddhist temples and mingle with children on pushbikes on rural roads. Lunch in Cho Moi town. During the French colonial period, the French travelled from Saigon to Siem Reap by steamboats, and the French discovered the Angkor Wat. Followed by the Angkor Wat, the French structured the Monastery and churches in later years. The complex of Roman Catholic structures on the island is astonishing. The most striking is Cu Lao Gieng Church, built by a French priest named Gazignol between 1879 and 1889 with construction materials brought in from France.

In the afternoon, we take a leisurely ride through the Gieng island, views the Monastery, and its surroundings from the bridge, look over fish farms on the river, pass many fruit orchards to the ferry. Share space with locals on a ferry crossing to the lush green rural Dist, and we continue biking through mango orchards and on small concrete paths to Cao Lanh City.
