In this special episode, MC Ngoc Thuy and rapper Double2T will take the audience to a very unique place: Can Tho - the heart of the Mekong Delta. This place is not only the bustling Tay Do but also a place that preserves cultural features with rich identity, where you can slow down, immerse yourself in nature and fully feel the beauty of the Mekong Delta.

Cai Rang Floating Market: Where river culture blends with modern life

Cai Rang Floating Market is located in Can Tho City, one of the largest and most famous floating markets in the Mekong Delta. The floating market is not only a place for trading but also a cultural symbol of the Southwest region. To fully experience it, visitors should come here early in the morning, when the boats are already bustling. The characteristic thing here is that each boat sells a type of agricultural product such as mango, pineapple, potato, squash... and they hang that product on a long pole called "cay beo" so that visitors can easily recognize it from afar.

Not only do the mobile stalls exist, the floating market also has boats selling breakfast, with the aroma of coffee and noodles spreading over the river, creating a unique experience. Buyers do not need to go ashore, just lean close to the boat, bargain and the goods are exchanged right on the river. This is not only a place to trade but also a place to feel the friendly life of the Western people: greetings, laughter and the sound of engines blending together naturally. All create a lively, bustling but very simple and familiar picture.

Hu Tieu Oven: Where the essence of golden rice crystallizes

Coming to Can Tho, tourists cannot miss the experience of visiting traditional noodle factories, where the noodles are produced, which have become a culinary symbol of the West. Famous as the land of "white rice and clear water", Can Tho has excellent raw materials. To create delicious noodles, each stage requires meticulousness and attention from the craftsman. The rice is carefully selected, going through the stages of soaking, washing, grinding, and especially the two stages of spreading and scooping the noodles, requiring the skillful hands of humans.

At Uncle Sau’s noodle factory, MC Ngoc Thuy and rapper Double2T not only got to see the noodle making process but also listened to stories and philosophies of the profession. The noodles here are not only made from rice but are also combined with local vegetables and fruits, creating a natural color and unique flavor. The process of making noodles requires patience: after being dried in the sun, the noodles must be kept in the dew overnight to achieve the ideal chewy and soft texture.

Fruit garden: Fruit-laden gardens and the love of the people in the West

One of the experiences not to be missed when coming to Can Tho is visiting the fruit gardens full of fruit. Entering the garden, visitors feel like they are lost in a cool green space, surrounded by rows of trees full of rambutan, mangosteen, durian, mango, longan... The feeling of picking the fruit yourself, enjoying the sweet, fragrant taste of the river region right there makes everyone remember forever.

Coming to these gardens, visitors not only get to eat fruit but also experience the closeness and simplicity of the Southern people. Their smiles, stories and warm welcome make anyone feel like they are coming back to their own home.

“Green Connection Journey” not only brings the audience to the majestic nature, but also opens small doors for us to see the warm hearts of people. Here, traditional values ​​meet innovation, and each story, each relic becomes a commitment to culture and the future. This is an inspiring journey of environmental protection and sustainable tourism development, where every small action can contribute to creating a greener future.
