Overview
Lying just to the north of Saigon is a hidden world — a miniature Mekong Delta waiting to be explored. Far from the city’s traffic and noise, this peaceful green oasis reveals shaded canals, narrow alleyways, and quiet countryside paths where time seems to slow down. At its heart lies a beautiful lotus pond, a serene mirror of nature that makes the island feel worlds away from bustling Ho Chi Minh City.
To reach this tranquil escape, we begin with a scenic ride on the Saigon River Water Bus. As the boat glides along the river, the city skyline gradually gives way to quieter riverbanks and pockets of lush greenery — a gentle transition from urban energy to countryside calm.
From the pier, your cycling adventure begins. By bicycle, you’ll weave through small villages, ride alongside calm waterways, and pause at a tranquil pagoda to learn about the beliefs and traditions that shape daily life here. Along the way, meet friendly locals, pass bustling markets, and soak in a side of Saigon that few visitors ever see.
