Seems that all the tour buses and all the people that will go to a Mekong River Delta, stopped here.

ItΒ is an exquisite, restful site with beautiful gardens. It features a giant happy buddha, a giant standing buddha, and a giant reclining one.

Welcome aboard! TheΒ leisurely boat ride along the river. Viewed the stilt houses, fruit plantations and fishing villages along the river bank. Proceeded to Tortoise islet, and finally! time to feedΒ our hunger pangs in the orchard garden. πŸ™‚

TheΒ canoe ride through gorgeous waterways with my conical hat. Oh yes! THIS was the Mekong Delta that I had imagined.

TrulyΒ in awe at the simpleness and at the silence.
