Bee Farms and Bamboo Pavilions: Delights of the Mekong Delta

Come glide down the muddy Mekong river in Vietnam with staff writer Chin Liang, and discover the scents, scenes and sweetness of coconut candy and a river boat ride. Visit a bee farm for a honey treat and feel what it's like to have royal jelly massaged on your hands.

Join us as we venture into the serene beauty of the Mekong Delta in Vietnam, leaving behind the hustle of Ho Chi Minh City for a day filled with exploration and indulgence. In this episode, we accompany senior writer Chin Liang on a captivating trip that highlights the region's lush landscapes, vibrant culture, and delightful flavors.

From the sun-dappled orchards bursting with tropical fruits to the tranquil boat rides across the chocolate-hued river, every moment is a sensory experience. We visit a bee farm to enjoy honey tea and learn about the benefits of royal jelly, and witness the process of making coconut candy at a local factory. As we navigate through narrow canals and vibrant celebrations at the Grand Vinh Trang Pagoda, we are reminded of the importance of slowing down and savoring the simple joys that the Mekong has to offer.
