However, the province also offers exotic delicious dishes. Upon arrival at Tram Chim, you should treat yourselves to lunch inside a canal-side bamboo tent surrounded by cajuput forests, fields of green grass Eleocharis, and different species of birds. Paddy field mice have been a specialty of the Mekong Delta since the early days of land reclamation. It also reflects the lifestyle of people of the delta: just eat what you have.

The fragrance of the grilled fish mingled with the pleasant smell of the lotus leaf is something tourists to the delta would not forget.
