My name is My Lanh. I'm 18 years old.I living in Bac Lieu with parents and sister.I'm currently a student at Can Tho University. I hope to get help from you and your friends.

Nice to meet you soon! I'm also very excited because you are coming to Vietnam.

Can Tho is peaceful and beautiful city in the Mekong Delta, famous for floating markets. People here are friendly.

I suggest staying near Ninh Kieu Wharf because it has beautiful river views and has convenient location. You should visit the Ninh Kieu Wharf, Cai Rang Floating Market, Ong Pagoda, and the Can Tho museum... The best way to get around is by taxi or motorbike.

You can also take a boat trip on the Ninh Kieu Wharf or Cai Rang Floating Market. You must try "Hu Tieu", "Banh Xeo" and "Nem Nuong". They are very popular in Can Tho.

I hope my suggestions are helpful. Have a great trip to Vietnam!

All the best,

Sarah

Dear Sarah,
It has been a long time since we last wrote to each other, so I’m very happy to receive your email. I hope you have a great week when you travel to my hometown.

In Can Tho city, you can stay in a hotel, homestay, or motel near the city center. But I think a hotel will be the most comfortable for you.

I recommend that you should visit My Khanh Tourist Village, one of the most famous attractions in Can Tho. It’s a wonderful place where you can explore traditional southern Vietnamese houses, enjoy fruit gardens, and take part in interesting activities like fishing or rowing a boat. You can also visit Truc Lam Phuong Nam Monastery, Can Tho Museum, or take a boat trip along the river to see the peaceful countryside.

You can get around Can Tho by bus, taxi, or bicycle. If you want to enjoy the scenery, you should rent a bicycle to ride around My Khanh Village and nearby gardens.

You also have to try some local foods such as Vietnamese pancakes, and fresh tropical fruits from the orchards. They are very delicious and special.

I wish you have a wonderful trip with my suggestions.

All the best,
Chau

I’m so happy that you’re visiting Vietnam soon! If you want to explore the beauty of the south, I suggest spending your week in Can Tho. It’s a peaceful city in the Mekong Delta, famous for its rivers and floating markets.

You can stay near Ninh Kieu Wharf, where there are many restaurants and a lovely river view. You should visit Cai Rang Floating Market, Ong Pagoda, and enjoy a boat trip along the canals — it’s a wonderful experience!

To get around the city, you can ride a motorbike, take a taxi, or travel by boat on the river. Don’t forget to try hu tieu, banh xeo, and tropical fruits like mangoes and rambutan. I’m sure you’ll love the local food and friendly people here.

Can’t wait to see you soon!

Best,
Jack

Thanks for writing for me. I'm so happy to hear that you will visit Vietnam. When you coming to my city, I suggest you stay in a hotel in the city center for convenient travel. There are many famous attractions in my city that you can't miss such as: Ninh Kieu Wharf, Cai Rang floating market, Ninh Kieu night maket, alley 51....The best way to get around the city is by bike but if you can't drive, you can take a grap. If you come to Cai Rang forating maket you should take a boat to fully enjoy and also forget to try local dishes. Cu Lao hotpot, Gỏi Bò, Bún tôm khô, Cơm cháy kho quẹt and many other delicious dishes will make you love it. When you come, please let me know. See you soon!

Best wishes,

Huong

Thanks for writing to me. I just finished reading it and am writing this letter to you. I will share with you the places that I know.

A famous tourist destination in Vietnam is Cai Rang Floating Market, located in Can Tho city. This is one of the largest and most typical floating markets in the Mekong Delta. Here, you will experience the bustling trading scene right on the river, with many boats carrying fruits, vegetables and local specialties.

A famous dish you should try when coming to Can Tho is Bun Mam. The taste is unique, very attractive, very typical. In addition, there are still many dishes that you should try.

Hope you have a great experience at this location.I hope to hear from you soon.

It’s great that you want to learn more about Vietnamese festivals! I think you should join the Mid-Autumn Festival when you visit. It usually happens in September or October, on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month.

During this festival, people decorate with colorful lanterns, and children walk on the streets carrying them. You can also watch lion dances and enjoy the happy atmosphere everywhere.

We eat moon cakes which are sweet and delicious. If you want to join like a local, you can buy a small lantern and give it to children, or take part in the lantern parade at night. I’m sure you will love it!

Dear Maru,

Thank you for your letter! I'm writing to tell you about my holiday to Ninh Thuan last summer.

Last summer,I went to Ninh Thuan, specifically to Phan Rang- Thap Cham. We stayed there and had a lot of fun, spending a whole week, swimming at Ninh Chu Beach and visiting Thap Cham. When we were at the towers, we also came across shop selling antiques and souvenirs.

The weather in Phan Rangis nothing but sunshine and wind, which is why it's known as 'sunny and windy Phan Rang'. Since it's in the South Central Coast region,it rarely rain and is surrounded by mountains. I took so many photos there - it's a palce I'll never forget, and I made a lot of memories.

After that holiday,I focused on studying for the university entrance exam so that I could go back there many more time. It's the place I always want to visit the most.

Looking forward to hearing from you and sharing more stories!

Best wishes,

Phong

Therefore, it is a good idea for you to enjoy this festival with your family.

Before Tet, people clean and decorate their houses with flowers or beautiful pictures. They often share their housework to connect family members. During Tet, we often go to pagoda to pray for good luck and health.People also visit relatives and wish each other to be rich and healthy.Besides that, we also spend time watching fireworks, playing games together : Vietnamese bingo, Tug of War,..., which makes Tet more memorable. In additions, we often cook and try many special traditional foods together such as thit kho, chung cake, tet cake,coconut jams,.... Traditional foods in Vietnam are very diverse, so I hope you can try as many as you can.

You asked what traditional clothes or gifts you should prepare. At Tet, people often wear Ao Dai, which is the traditional clothing of Vietnam. Therefore, you should prepare Ao Dai or colorful clothes for good luck.

At this time, I’m preparing for my tomorrow exam, so I must stop writing now. I hope my advice will helpful for you. I’m looking forward to seeing you.
