River Cai’s Countryside By Boat

Explore the ancient Ponagar Cham Towers, an intriguing complex of temple sand gardens overlooking the Cai River, for a glimpse into the rich mythology and deep spirituality of the Vietnamese culture. The Towers are evidence of the ancient Cham civilization built between the 8th and 12th centuries on a site used for Hindu worship. As a counterpoint to your land-based adventure, enjoy a serene sightseeing cruise along the Cai River. Stop at a riverside clay-oven workshop where you'll visit with a family that produces clay ovens.

At a rural village, you'll take a stroll for a close-up look at how people live and work. You’ll visit a farmer's house to view how they live, raise domestic animals, cook food, plant fruit, and worship their ancestors. If the local market is still open, you’ll have a chance to stop for photos.
