Can’t-Miss Experiences on Mekong Tours to Tan Thanh

Exploring Tan Thanh Beach

Tan Thanh Beach in Mekong Tours to Tan Thanh

Tan Thanh Beach

Let’s start with one of the weirdest stops on the tour: Tan Thanh Beach. Unlike any other white-sand beaches that you might have known, Tan Thanh Beach sets up a ring for a different kind of beauty. The beach is famous for having shores of mud; however, that does not mean it’s not peaceful-just ideal for walking along the coastline. This is, in fact, one of the better beaches for clam digging, which is to say, one of the more traditional activities in this neck of the woods. Make no mistake, you get down into the trenches here with the local fishermen and dig clams right out of the sand. You will also glimpse the ordinary life of the local community. Sunrises here are a treat; such aspects as observing the sunrise gradually over the horizon, and reflections on the water, will be things that remain in my memory after the trip is finished.

Clam Digging Adventure

Another highlight of the Mekong Tours to Tan Thanh is the adventure in clam digging! For sure, this isn’t a usual beach activity-it’s hands-on, muddy, and lots of fun. With a small rake and basket, you will soon get into digging through the soft sand in search of clams, some of which form one of the staple seafood dishes of the locality. It’s a great opportunity to learn from local fishermen who have honed the skill over generations. Additionally, you can have the clams you dig up prepared fresh for eating later on; consider what ‘farm-to-table freshness’ really means.

Local Culture Immersion: Pham Dang Mausoleum

Of course, it is not all about the beach. History and culture on every corner interject this tour. A trip to the Pham Dang Mausoleum will walk you through times and give information that is interesting regarding the history of the Pham Dang family. The mausoleum served for so much more than just being a resting place, symbolizing the deep cultural heritage of the region. The stories will be told of the contributions of the Phạm family to local history and the mysteries enveloping them as you walk through this mausoleum. Architecture in itself is a blend of traditional Vietnamese styles with influences from times past that reflect the power and prestige of this family.

Vuon So Ri (Go Cong Cherry Garden)

Nature lovers, this one is for you! A stop at Vuon So Ri better known as Go Cong Cherry Garden is a treat waiting to happen for any lover of fresh fruits and sceneries. One will be treated in leisurely walks through rows and rows of cherry trees, picking and tasting the sweet-sour cherries that grow uniquely in this particular part of the Mekong Delta. These are cherries like none you’ve had since these have their special taste owing to the richness of the soil from the Mekong region. These will provide a perfect way of understanding and enjoying the natural bounty of the area, together with learning traditional ways of farming.

Nha Doc Phu Hai: A Glimpse into the Past

The one home attraction associated with the  Mekong Tours to Tan Thanh is for those who have a fascination with history and architecture. Nha Doc Phu Hai, which when named in Vietnamese means the French Mansion of Phu Hai, was built during the late 19th century. During this colonial era, this was one of the best-preserved houses in this region. As you come inside this house, you will come across a beautiful blend of French and Vietnamese culture that is composed of ornate wood carvings to cool floors made of stone. This house tour will provide a great insight into how the former elite of Vietnam used to live, enabling one to reach a deeper understanding of the colonial past of that region.

Delicious Local Cuisine

No tour of the Mekong Delta will be complete without savoring what is freshest and most prized here: seafood. Tan Thanh boasts of great catches, especially clams and crabs. You will have a seafood dinner made with the day’s catch, prepared to showcase the region’s best dishes. Just think of the flavor of steamed clams, grilled fish, or sautéed crabs with the natural flavors brought out by local herbs and spices. The seafood is so fresh, prepared by traditional techniques passed down for generations. You will leave with a full stomach and an appreciation for the culinary richness of the Mekong Delta.

Tour of Vietnam

Impress travel were amazing. Did my bookings with Daniel for our tour of Vietnam and I must say Daniel was very professional and prompt with his services. All the arrangement, plans, pick-up & drop-off services, hotels, vehicles, sightseeing tours and guides were spot on and excellent. Did 4 nights Hanoi, 1 night Hà Long Bay cruise, 3 nights Hoian, 4 nights Saigon and 1 night in Can Tho. It was totally awesome. Every part of the journey was superbly arranged and planned. I will highly recommend Impress Travel for anyone interested in visiting Vietnam. Very organized and reliable!

The tour was fantastic

I booked with Impress Travel in July. My contact person was Tommy Thang. He is an amazing person. He was very helpful. He changed my program twice for me. Very accommodating!
We started our holiday in the north (Sapa)of Vietnam and travelled down to HCMC.
The tour was fantastic, Tommy's arrangements were to the"T".
I will always use them if I have to visit the area again and recommend them to one and all.
Thank you once again Mr.Tommy and the Impress Team.
