A tourist said: What I remember most about the tour is the typical image of the Mekong Delta area in Vietnam; not a splendid beauty like sights in the northern and central provinces, but an area of peace and freedom. A boat glides on water filled with green cajuput, small white water-lilies, and pink lotuses as the gentle winds stir the cane-brake and birds wake from their sleep and fly up to the sky.
