(U.S. visual media company Getty Images has listed the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho among 15 world’s most beautiful canal cities). Your sampan ride will spend more than an hour on the canals which are very long and peaceful. Your boat driver will stop driving, but paddling slowly so that you can feel the relaxation, airy and even more chilled thanks to the pleasant nature of evergreen Can Tho canals of nipa (napa) palm, freshwater mangrove, coconut and more.
