Every year, during major holidays, especially Tet, many people, both local and international, seek a place to travel, relax, enjoy festive days, and experience the beautiful scenery of Vietnam. With that spirit, we introduce some typical and beautiful travel destinations in Khoi My from the South to the North. When one arrives in Can Tho City, Vietnam, there is a place that everyone must visit, which is Ninh Kieu Wharf. Ninh Kieu Wharf is considered an ideal location for gatherings with loved ones, family, friends, or even turning couples into one. It is a bustling spot attracting many visitors daily from around 5 pm until midnight. This wharf, known as Ninh Kieu Park, is a cultural tourist spot in Can Tho City, built as a 7,000m2 park following the style of Le Huu Tinh, conveniently located overlooking the Hau River towards Ninh Kieu, now a popular tourist destination. From Ninh Kieu Wharf, you can see the Can Tho Bridge, the longest main span in Southeast Asia. As of 2010, Ninh Kieu Wharf is open at night. Looking from the Chai neighborhood, it sparkles like hidden gems in the calm waters of the Hau River leading to Ninh Kieu, Can Tho. Visitors can enjoy the traditional music performances of the Southern region, creating a serene and poetic atmosphere reflecting the essence of our homeland. Ninh Kieu Wharf leaves a lasting impression on visitors. Can Tho City, the capital of the Mekong Delta, is worth exploring for two days, visiting famous tourist spots, especially in Can Tho. Each place we visit leaves a unique mark, making us grow fonder of the Mekong River region. In our Journey to the South, we ventured into the deep waters, sailing through the vast rivers of the Mekong Delta, exploring ancestral landmarks on our way to the South. Visiting Thoi Son tourist area, we sailed through the Thoi Son tourism area and admired the beauty of the Tien River. On the Tien River, you can easily spot the Rach Mieu Bridge connecting Tien Giang and Ben Tre provinces. Standing by the My Tho River bank in Tien Giang province, part of the Mekong River system, we journeyed through the Thoi Son tourism area, where we navigated through the canals. Each boat can accommodate up to six people, one boatman, and one assistant. In the mountainous regions, cancer is far away. Arriving at Thoi Son Island, we took a leisurely horse carriage ride along winding roads by the lush Coconut Canal, immersing ourselves in the serene atmosphere by the Mekong River. We then boarded a large boat back to Con Phung islet via the waterway to Con Phuc. The boats dock at Rach Gam Xoai Mut, where the heroic Nguyen Hue defeated a 50,000-strong army in 1785. Formerly known as Tan Vinh islet, it was later renamed Coconut Religion Island due to Nguyen Thanh Nam building the Nam Quoc Phat Pagoda and founding the Nam Quoc Phat sect here. From the early 20th century, coconuts were planted leading to Con Phuc, where visitors can explore fruit gardens and savor the unique cuisine of the Mekong Delta, a delightful experience when visiting Con Phuc by hand. Crocodile fishing involves numerous crocodiles waiting in the pond for skilled fishermen to conquer and extract them from the area. If we were to stay in Ben Tre, we could think of another tourist area, gladly known as that area. Road-building tourism at Lan Phuong tourist area offers a vast rural pearl setting, where tourist groups often engage in team-building games to foster camaraderie amidst the pristine landscape and vast waterways in our Southern journey. Visiting Saigon at the year-end when the whole city is preparing for the new year, the city's French colonial architecture designed with a European model. Saigon is often referred to as the gem of the Far East in Asia, inspired by Duy Khanh Gia. A special feature is the pedestrian street. Nguyen Hue, how do you feel about it? Many people come here just to see this couple. Every night, they have something to talk about. At 8 pm, they come here, take each other's hands, and now we seek to fulfill the desire to take a stroll around Nguyen Hue Pedestrian Street to explore together. This is an overview of Nguyen Hue Pedestrian Street at night, a bustling hub.

It was a hot, humid night in late July, and a monsoon was rolling in. There were less than ten of us, sweating around a fire, silent in a way I had never experienced with these people before. There were veterans, active military, kids who were poised to join. And a precious few were like me, patriots who were allowed, for a few moments, to look deeper into the lives of those who dedicated themselves to their country.
