Tourism Presentation: A Trip to the Mekong Delta

[Slide 1 – Greeting & Game Intro]


Hello teacher and friends,
Today, our group wants to talk about a fun and interesting topic – tourism.
But first, we have a small game for you!

On the screen, you can see 11 blank letters.


We will give you two hints, and you try to guess the word:

 Hint 1: This place has rich, good soil.


 Hint 2: Before June 12, it had 13 provinces. Now, it has only 6.

[Slide 2 – Game Answer & Topic Intro]


That’s right! The answer is the Mekong Delta.
And that is also the place our group will take you to visit today.

Before we start the trip, here is some information:


Our tour will go to three provinces:

 Can Tho
 Ca Mau
 Kien Giang

In this tour, we will visit three famous places:

 Cai Rang Floating Market in Can Tho


 Dat Mui National Park in Ca Mau
 Phu Dung Pagoda in Kien Giang

[Slide 3 – Cai Rang Floating Market]


Let’s start with Cai Rang Floating Market.

This market is on a branch of the Hau River, in Cai Rang District, Can Tho City.
In 2016, it was recognized as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage of Vietnam.

The name “Cai Rang” comes from the Khmer word “karan,” which means clay stove.
In the past, Khmer people made many clay stoves, put them on boats, and came here to sell.
Vietnamese people later changed the word “karan” to “Cà Ràng,” and then to “Cái Răng.”

[Slide 4 – Why the Market Exists]


The floating market was created because local people live near rivers.
Their daily life depends on water and boats.
To visit the market, you can take a boat from Ninh Kieu Wharf – it takes around 30 minutes.
[Slide 5 – How It Works]
At the market, many small boats gather to sell fruits and vegetables.
Each boat has a tall pole. Sellers hang their products on the pole to show what they sell.

For example:

 Sell oranges → hang oranges


 Sell mangoes → hang mangoes
 Sell sugarcane → stand up sugarcane

This special way helps buyers see what’s for sale from far away.

[Slide 6 – Special Cases]


But there are three interesting exceptions:

1. Hang but don’t sell – Some boats hang clothes, but those are just for living, not for sale.
2. Sell but don’t hang – Some boats sell drinks or food, so they don’t hang products.
3. Hang one thing, sell another – If a boat is for sale, the owner hangs a coconut leaf to
show it.

[Slide 7 – Final Message]


Cai Rang Floating Market is not man-made.
It is a real part of local life – a natural and special culture of the Mekong Delta.

Thank you for listening! We hope you enjoyed our presentation.
