Upon disembarking, we delve into the lively town life of Tan Chau by "xe loi". The xe loi driver leisurely guides you through a maze of streets, offering glimpses into the captivating daily activities of the locals and the nearby market.Â
Continuing on, we visit a Cao Dai temple, engaging with one of the priests who enlightens us about the unique beliefs and spirit of Cao Dai.Â

A cycling tour is optional for those who want a deeper exploration in Tan Chau. Besides enjoying the peaceful life of this region along with colourful fruit gardens, we also can stop at a small market for a little chit chat with local vendors.Â
The tour ends with some exciting sightseeing on the way: A frog farm and a mat-weaving workshop.
