Back in Tan Chau, ride in a xe loi, a three-wheeled bicycle rickshaw that was introduced by the French in the 19th century and is a common form of transportation in rural Vietnam. Visit the recently renovated, brightly colored Cao Dai Temple. Caodaism is a new religion, established in 1926 in the southern Vietnamese city of Tay Ninh, and brings together beliefs and practices from Buddhism, Christianity, Taoism, and Confucianism. Here, you will learn more about the mix of ideas that form the basis of this fascinating religion. For your third choice, board a speedboat to visit Chau Doc, a major city in the Mekong Delta, and Tay An Temple.

After lunch upon your arrival back onboard, enjoy sailing to the Vietnamese and Cambodian border. Some down time is a great way to relax and what better way to do that than heading to the Wellness Centre or Beauty Salon for a bit of pampering.

Choose to learn about local folklore at Phnom Pros, a mountaintop pagoda that has long been part of a traditional legend. Tragically, in more modern times, the site was used as a Killing Field by the Khmer Rouge. The temple now features a Buddha Garden and is home to a local troop of monkeys.
