Visiting the morning fishing market in Hoi An is truly an authentic experience not to be missed. Early in the morning, you will hop on your bike and leisurely stroll to the beach. Marvel at the magnificent sunrise along the way, and then head to the market to feel the bustling atmosphere when the boats return with their morning catch. Not crowded with tourists, this market offers a deeper insight into the authentic local life of the fishermen in Vietnam.

Culture thrives with the rivers, and here in the Mekong Delta, the boats are more than just a means of transport. They are treated like beings with souls and given eyes to help them navigate. The eyes are also believed to allow the boats to spot fish deep underwater and chase away monsters, bringing luck to their owners.

A wealth of culture on Southeast Asia’s lifeline awaits. Let’s follow the flow and unfold the mighty Mekong’s secrets from Thailand all the way to Vietnam with us via the link!

The Mekong Delta is long called “The rice bowl of Vietnam” as it is the most fertile region and produces the largest number of agricultural products for the country. We will take you on a night cruise along the mighty river, where you can observe a variety of greens, boats, houses, and markets floating on uncountable canals and streams. Your cruise will sometimes stop for you to explore the peaceful countryside and the delta’s biological diversity.

As much as crafting something of our own is a great joy, it’s easy to miss that when everything today is so readily available. We feel inspired by people who still have craftsmanship as part of their daily lives; and in Vietnam, they can be those who make delicious dishes, keep traditional crafts alive, or design their own clothes. As you rediscover the joy of crafting, let’s meet them, learn their art, and get hands-on during your art-focused Vietnam journey in the link!

History becomes interesting when we see how the past shapes the present. Looking into the phenomenon of tall and narrow houses that dominate Vietnam’s streets, we’re brought back to a tax once imposed on the width of frontages by the feudal regime. Though the tax no longer exists, the growing urban density and the tendency to monetize frontages have made it part of the culture. The wider the frontage is, the higher the land price will be, hence the continued need for tube houses.

What if a church and a pagoda were combined? In Vietnam, you might feel this way when you encounter Caodaism. This indigenous religion has quite a fascinating origin as it was born right in the middle of French rule, in 1926, with the vision to unite Eastern and Western philosophies. It’s within its one-of-a-kind architecture that you’ll find Buddha, Lao Tzu, and Jesus all worshiped together. 📍 Caodaism’s major temple, the Holy See in Tay Ninh Province, about 100 kilometers from Saigon.
