Nguyễn Sinh Sắc Relic

The first destination I visited in Cao Lanh was the tomb of Nguyen Sinh Sac. He is the father of Ho Chi Minh. Ho Chi Minh was a Vietnamese revolutionary and statesman as well as the first president of Vietnam.

This place is vast and consists of several buildings.

In addition, there is the tomb of Nguyen Sinh Sac, said the buddy who accompanied me there, if we pray in front of Nguyen sin sac grave, they believe it will happen for real.

This was also the first time I tried Lotus Tea. Cao Lanh City is indeed famous for lotus.

Traditional Market - Chợ Cù lao Tân Thuận Đông

To get to this traditional market from Cao Lanh you need to cross by boat. The queue to cross to the traditional market is always crowded, especially on weekends.

At the traditional market, the food sold is very diverse. Starting from desserts, pastries, candies, tea, other drinks, and traditional food from Vietnam. But one thing for sure is that here it is difficult to find food that is not made from pork because almost all the food here contains pork. However, my Muslim friends and I can still buy desserts made from fruits or vegan food.

The traditional market is surrounded by bamboo and is located by the river, so it's perfect for relaxing and spending time with your loved ones.
