Many tourists come to visit the Garden River Festival

STO - At around 10am on May 31, the 5th day of the 5th lunar month (Doan Ngo festival), at 3 ferry terminals transferring passengers to My Phuoc islet, Nhon My commune, Ke Sach district (Soc Trang), hundreds of tourists were waiting to board the ferry to My Phuoc islet to attend the 19th Ke Sach district river and garden festival. The atmosphere at the ferry terminals taking passengers was very crowded and bustling. The number of tourists increased towards noon, because in the morning the weather was sunny and the festival fell on the weekend, so tourists took advantage of the opportunity to go to the festival to have fun and relax.

Each locality has its own typical fruits and agricultural products, notably specialty fruits such as: purple star apple, pink plum, mangosteen, rambutan, green plum, green-skinned grapefruit, To Nu jackfruit, monthong durian, crow apple banana, green strawberry...
