In the latest episode, Green Connection Journey brought the audience to Can Tho - a land that just by hearing the name, everyone can feel the gentleness and prosperity of the "capital of Tay Do". This land is not only famous for its hospitable people and lush fruit gardens, but also for preserving priceless cultural and historical heritages.

From century-old "gems" to culinary quintessence

The first stop in Can Tho is Binh Thuy ancient house, also known as Duong family temple national relic. This house is over 150 years old, a unique combination of luxurious Western architecture and the quintessence of traditional Vietnamese architecture, creating an ancient, eye-catching beauty. Every detail, from the bricks, railings, to the ceramic patterns, exudes a quiet cultural space, bearing the mark of time. This is not only a famous tourist attraction but also a familiar setting for many classic movies.

Leaving the ancient house, the journey of discovery continues to take the audience to the rich culinary world of Tay Do. According to the advice of the locals, coming to Can Tho without eating Banh Tet La Cam is a real mistake. The Green Connection Journey visited a famous Banh Tet making facility, which has kept the family secret since the time of the great-grandmother. What is special here is not only the traditional flavor, but also the creativity. From the Banh Tet with only one monotonous color of La Cam, now there is a "multi-color" version made from the color of Gac fruit and Pandan leaves. It is not only a change in color, but also a testament to the flexibility and creativity, to meet the tastes of customers, while still maintaining the traditional flavor.

Stork garden and the beauty of garden culture

The journey to discover Can Tho cannot be complete without a destination associated with the river nature - Bang Lang stork garden. Ms. Hoa - the garden owner happily shared about the origin of the name "Bang Lang" and the large area of ^18,000m2 of the garden. From 4 pm, flocks of storks begin to fly back, creating an extremely spectacular scene. During the day, thousands of storks fly out to find food, and then when the sunset falls, they return to their nests, creating a symphony of nature. Here, the audience can not only admire familiar stork species such as fly storks and fish storks, but also gain knowledge about many other stork species. The beauty of Bang Lang stork garden lies not only in the landscape but also in the harmony between humans and nature, a typical cultural feature of the river delta region.

At the end of the journey to explore Can Tho, the program led the audience to the bustling night market. A series of delicious dishes from garden fruits were transformed into attractive sweet soups, smoothies, or mixed dishes, all with the typical flavors of the land of "white rice and clear water". The participants enjoyed the unique colored palm cakes, and especially the cool palm juice.

The Green Connection Journey has shown that Can Tho is not only a tourist destination, but also a priceless treasure of culture, cuisine and nature. Each destination, each story brings deep feelings about the beauty of the country and people. Please continue to watch the program to discover other meaningful journeys and spread good values to the community.
