For the locals as Vietnamese, Sadec is famous for flowers of, rose and bonsai plants, and it's always colorful and stunning in the Mekong Delta and more and more when the Lunar New Year is coming. Sadec got to know and attracted overseas tourists since 1984 when Duras's 1984 Prix Goncourt-winning novel was published. Marguerite Duras lived in Sa Đec during the three- to four years between 1928 and 1932. Her mother ran a school on the corner of Hung Vuong and Ho Xuan Huong, where a school still exists today. Duras met Huynh Thuy Le, the son of a wealthy Chinese family, and the two became involved in love. The house is located by the river and near the market. We will visit this house, and the local guide will tell you about the loved story of Marguerite Duras before we start our last day ride to villages of flowers and Xeo Quyt forest.
Enjoy riding on small paths along the Mekong River to the home of flowers, which is not far from Sadec. Spend time to wander through villages and experience how to grow flower plants. Then we took a ferry to the other side of the Upper River and will continue cycling to Xeo Quyt forest. It was an Army base of Viet Cong before 1975. You will have a sampan boat rowed into small rivers and pass some thatch houses and bunkers of the Viet Cong. Then, have lunch at the restaurant nearby before returning to Ho Chi Minh in the late afternoon.
