Along the Mekong River in Vietnam, time flows quietly by your side

🌊 Following the winding course of the Mekong River in Vietnam, every step feels like entering a flowing painting. The morning mist caresses the river's surface, and as the sunlight pierces through the clouds, it casts a golden hue, with the shimmering water sparkling enchantingly. 🌴 Strolling along the riverbank, the lush tropical vegetation and ancient dwellings reflect each other, as if you've stepped into a world filled with exotic charm. Here, you can feel the unique tranquility and harmony of Vietnam, allowing your soul to relax completely. 🚣 In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight touch the river, the Mekong appears like a golden ribbon, meandering across the land of Vietnam. I take a leisurely ride on a local boat, weaving through the tropical rainforest on both banks, as if I am in a mysterious world. 🌴 🌺 Along the way, I see colorful tropical flowers, either hanging from branches or floating on the water, adding a bright splash of color to the world. I also meet the warm-hearted local people, whose simple smiles and friendly greetings make me feel the warmth and sincerity of the Vietnamese people. 💖 🍜 During the journey, I also taste authentic Vietnamese cuisine, from river delicacies to rice noodles, each bite filled with happiness. Especially in the small riverside restaurants, enjoying the beautiful river view while savoring delicious food is a unique pleasure. 😋 📸 From the reflections on the river to the scenery on both banks, each photo is a beautiful memory of this trip. 📷 🌌 At this moment, I am reminded of the description of the Mekong River in Marguerite Duras's 'The Lover': 'I have never seen a river that is so beautiful, so majestic, so fierce in my life. The Mekong and its tributaries surge here, flowing into the ocean, and this vast expanse of water disappears into the depths of the sea here.' I feel as if I have forgotten all my troubles and just want to indulge in the beauty of this land. 🌟

Stayed in Ho Chi Minh City for two days. The attractions in the center of Ho Chi Minh City can be visited in about half a day. There are really a lot of motorcycles here, and every time you cross the road, it's a struggle. The next day, we went on a tour to the Mekong Delta and spent most of the day on a small island on the river. This round of play was very satisfying.
