Ben Tre – Where True Value Begins with Simplicity

Coming to Ben Tre feels like returning to a peaceful memory — a land where the morning roosters call out over the gentle rhythm of paddles gliding through green canals, and endless coconut groves shelter humble homes of sincere, hard-working farmers. In a small village by the Co Chien River, life flows gently in harmony with nature. The people here — weathered by sun and soil but rich in pride — live closely with the land, holding on to traditions passed down for generations. One of those proud traditions is the rice paper craft village. Here, each delicate, fragrant sheet of rice paper is handmade from simple ingredients like rice, coconut milk, sesame, or taro. But more than that, every piece carries the soul and skill of local artisans. Under the morning sun, rows of rice paper laid out to dry form a rustic yet beautiful canvas of village life. These are not just products — they are the essence of Ben Tre’s heritage. Surrounding the village are countless waterways and lush canals — not only routes of travel and trade but living symbols of the Mekong Delta spirit. Visitors can paddle through shaded creeks, listen to Southern folk tunes echoing between coconut palms, and even try their hands at making rice paper with the locals, all while hearing real stories from real lives. VN Tour Land has chosen this unique place to develop an immersive community-based tourism program — not just for sightseeing, but for coming home. A homecoming to rediscover what’s real — real people, real lives, and genuine experiences that no urban luxury can offer. We believe that Ben Tre – the land of coconuts and kind hearts — doesn't need grand staging. Its charm lies in its sincerity. It’s the humble, the homegrown, that create a truly different kind of value — a place where visitors don’t just take photos, but carry away a piece of Vietnam’s soul.
