RE: Explore Can Tho City beside the Hau River

I did not know that there were French colonies in South Vietnam... very interesting, I find it always nice to learn something about the history of foreign places on vacation! the floating markets would also have been one of my highlights, I remember something back to my time in Bangkok. really a nice post, thank you !

Yes. In the past, before Vietnam unified the North and South, the South was under French colonial rule. In April 1975, both the North and the South merged to form Vietnam as it is now. 😊
