When mentioning the countryside of the Mekong Delta, people usually think of simple, cool thatched-roof houses, but in reality, depending on the region, the structure of the house will change to suit the natural conditions. Particularly, the type of house attached to the rivers, against flood water, we must mention stilt houses, raft houses and houses on boats.
Along the Mekong Delta, boats are everywhere. Boats can be a roof, a means of transport, and are also closely linked to the livelihood of the people.
Going back in time 20 years ago, when the West still had many canals and the infrastructure was not yet developed, the boat building profession was extremely bustling. Many boat building villages were formed such as Nga Bay (Hau Giang province), Ba Dai (Dong Thap province), … in the golden age, this place was bustling with the sound of chiseling and sawing wood throughout the village, creating a prosperous life.
Rivers are not only the cradle that nurtures people’s lives to be more prosperous, but also deeply rooted in the consciousness and become a source of inspiration not only for the people of the West but also throughout Vietnam.
Life associated with rivers and water goes into immortal films such as Huong Phu Sa, Dat Phuong Nam, … beautiful songs and even inspiration for Vietnamese cosmetic brands to put on product packaging.
