Beautiful small Lac Hong Park is located along the Tien River, where people in My Tho city often go for a walk, enjoy the wind, exercise, and have coffee.
From the park, you can see the beautiful Rach Mieu bridge spanning the Tien River, connecting the two provinces of Tien Giang and Ben Tre.
The horizontal veranda at the beginning of the park is a monument to a patriotic insurgent leader, a heroic example of fighting foreign invaders from the 19th century under the Nguyen Dynasty: the statue of valedictorian Nguyen Huu Huan. The statue was completed on April 30, 1985, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the liberation of the South and the 110th anniversary of his fall.

Solo traveller? Travelling on your own means you will get out of any difficult situations by yourself. This, in turn, leads to more satisfying travel experiences and helps you improve your problem-solving skills. These days we rarely get the chance to sit with ourselves and simply be. That’s why you should consider the time you spend alone on your trip as a gift.
It is possible for solo travellers to use google maps and do it alone. But sometimes they need to update local maintained roads and bridges which close and lead you a longer road than the road from google maps. It is just about the time. It takes more time to find the correct garden to come. Adventure is always fun. Wifi is strong in My Tho village! The locals find it hard to speak English as well. Top tip: Sticking to one canal and keeping going along it which gives you more things to see and avoids getting lost. Contact vemekong.com to hire a car, scooter with English-speaking-guide or cycling tours in My Tho.
Don’t get us wrong. But we assure you that you totally agree with us. “Do not give candy and things to the children when you plan to visit any local villages”, the kids will leave the school and follow the sweets and later they find some things to give you or sell to you.
