New Delta tour visits author's home

TIEN GIANG — A new tour route from the city of My Tho to Cho Gao District was inaugurated on Tuesday in the southern province of Tien Giang to help introduce tourists to the culture and customs of the Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta region.

The 40km route will bring tourists to the home of writer Son Nam (1926-2008) in My Tho to explore the life and career of the writer known as the "Old Man of the South".

Tourists will also get a chance to visit the archaeological site of the Oc Eo Culture (1st-7th centuries) and visit farms growing dragonfruit, the provincial speciality, where they can enjoy popular singing with the farmers.-VNS
