1. Con Tan Phong – The Hidden Gem of Tien Giang
Located in Tan Phong Commune, Cai Lay District, Tien Giang Province, Con Tan Phong is one of the most beautiful islands in the Mekong Delta.
It is blessed with fertile alluvial soil, interlacing canals, and vibrant fruit gardens all year round.
Unlike the bustling city, Con Tan Phong offers a peaceful rhythm of life — perfect for weekend getaways with family, friends, or your loved ones.

You can travel by car, motorbike, or join a local boat tour organized by Homestay Thuy Duong — whichever you choose, the journey itself is a relaxing experience along the river.
