Ben Tre travel experience through self-discovery journey
6:30 am: Start the journey back to the river
From Saigon to Ben Tre it only takes about 1.5 hours to 2 hours if traveling by bus or car. We go by car, so moving towards the expressway will save 20-30 minutes compared to taking the National Highway 1. So after more than 1 hour, it means more than 7:30, the group has arrived in Tien Giang. and know. We stopped here and did not go to Ben Tre because we wanted to have breakfast and rest for a while before crossing the Rach Mieu bridge to start a “squishy” trip in the land of coconut.

Stop at Trung Luong Restaurant located at the Trung Luong intersection at Highway 1, Ward 10, TP. My Tho, Tien Giang and I take advantage of a little rest and have breakfast with the most famous dish here is My Tho noodle soup. Many people when traveling often think that the food in the restaurant or stop will not be delicious, but if once enjoying a Western-style noodle here, they will change their mind immediately.
Not having a quick discussion about the dish, when you first step in, you will immediately score a high score for the restaurant space and decoration. This place is extremely large, there is a huge parking lot, no matter how crowded you are, you are not afraid of lack of space. The shop has decorated lakes and gardens to take pictures of virtual life as well.

The restaurant’s architecture is built from wood so it looks rustic and close. Now to the main topic. The two most popular dishes here are banh canh and noodle soup. These two dishes are just different from the cake and the soup flavor is exactly the same, both delicious with clear and sweet broth, soft bones and casseroles, large and fresh shrimp as if they were just caught, so they are extremely steamed. guide.
Equally important is that the salad dish on the side salad is already very cool. Total damage for a full breakfast of group 4 including water is always 250k. So my stomach is full, enough energy moves to the other side of Rach Mieu bridge to explore the famous Dong Khoi land in the country.

Ben Tre Riverside resort is located at the confluence of Ham Luong River – a branch of Tien River flowing through Ben Tre province. The old location was the busy Ham Luong ferry, today it is the Ben Tre Riverside resort with international 4-star standards. At first we booked a room at Forever Resort but on the weekend it was too crowded so the room was full. Ben Tre Riverside resort is only option 2, but it did not disappoint us at all because the location is quite easy to find and must say that the river view is super love.
It can be said that the resort is a harmonious combination between creative architecture and beauty favored by nature. With the river view suites, the wind from the romantic Ham Luong stream creates a cool and peaceful atmosphere, especially the Coconut Hotel which is quite comfortable with the luxurious Hoang Lam restaurant.

Among these famous Ben Tre tourism experiences, many interesting things about architecture and some relics are associated with Dao Dua’s activities at the time of his life and initiation.
Con Phung boat pier is the first check-in point for many tourists.
The first impression when coming to Phung islet is that this tourist area has a fairly large area and shady trees. There are many monuments that still retain the cultural beauty of the Dua religion for a while. The first is 9 majestic and beautiful dragon-carved pillars. Against the blue sky and between the immense rivers and rivers, the prominent yellow of the dragon pillars is a delicate architectural block that attracts visitors to visit and learn.

Nine Trung Dai Tower is also a strange and beautiful structure for our group to visit. This is the place where in the old days, Mr. Dao Dua sat teaching and preaching, facing the vast windswept river surface, contemplating religion and life. The tower is assembled from ceramic pots with a sharp and traditional carved dragon phoenix pattern.

One of the travel experiences of Ben Tre that not only my group and visitors learn when coming to Phung islet is definitely not to miss two important activities, which are visiting bee farms and fishing crocodiles. Beekeeping is a traditional profession of Phung alcohol people. Today, this activity becomes an interesting experience for tourists when traveling to Ben Tre. Besides, crocodile fishing is an equally attractive activity when we are able to hand-fish the crocodile that is both scary and lovely. Our group’s gorgeously trip ended with a stroll around the dunes by horse cart under the shade of coconut trees and lush green fruit trees.

If Tien Giang has the famous My Tho noodle soup from near and far, Ben Tre has a special dish that is not less, but few people know it as pate.
