Long Xuyen is the second largest in Mekong Delta after Can Tho. It is known as the smuggling city, and it has a long border to Cambodia and main transport waterways. Smugglers are the real racers, and they love speeding when they see the police. Cambodia imports plenty of secondhand electronic households goods and many others. Cambodians have also produced a lot of cigarettes. Smuggling is often happening when polices are not on the road.
After your breakfast, we continue our journey with a 20-minute drive to a rural village, and we explore the fertile land abandoned before 1975. All agricultural canals were built in 1980, which has led Vietnam to become the second country exporting rice after Thailand. The small roads are well-developed, and the network of rural roads is perfect and easy for us to navigate, mostly alongside canals and rivers. Ride past many bricks factories, rice husking mills, and ride deeper into hamlets, study growing rice and the work of agriculture, irrigation system. The local living we see today is more characteristic than the places you have seen in the previous days.
Lunch en route before a transfer to rual village near Nui Cam, we cycle to explore the life of Khmer near the border. Afterwards, we undulate the small road line-palm trees before crossing the rice paddy fields to Tra Su Natural Reserve. Take a sampan boat trip, take you through the forest, and take smaller canoes into small streams into condensed tree areas. Learn about hundreds of plants and animals in the region. You will transfer on winding roads to Sam Mountain. Check in the Victoria Sam Lodge, enjoy the sunset by the pool, and have dinner at the resort.
