Welcome to a part of Vietnamese history that not many travelers have an opportunity to see. Central to our Mekong tours visit Kham Lon Can Tho is Kham Lon Can Tho, the biggest colonial period prison of the Mekong Delta. Numbered at No.8 Ngo Gia Tu, Tan An Ward, Ninh Kieu District, this site is not only architecturally impressive but also emotionally resonant. Those who select Mekong Tours make this one of the most impactful parts of their itinerary.
The French built Kham Lon Can Tho between 1878 and 1886 to confine and repress Vietnamese intellectuals and revolutionaries who through speech challenged colonial domination. The U.S.-supported régime later renamed it a “Reeducation Center,” but its underlying purpose remained chillingly consistent.
In 1996, Kham Lon Can Tho was officially declared a National Historic Site by the Vietnamese government, cementing its place within public remembrance and education. And nowadays, through well-designed Mekong tours, travelers all across the globe have access to these erstwhile forgotten walls.
Taking one of our Mekong Tours, you will be entering this preserved relic of colonial domination. Your guided tour will include:
