The picturesque province of Ben Tre, 88 km from Ho Chi Minh City is comprised of several large islands in the mouth of the mighty Mekong river. Due to its location away from the main highways it receives comparatively few visitors. Ben Tre is an ideal introduction to the lush and fertile Mekong Delta area and is home to swaying coconut palms and floating markets.

Visitors can see original architectural works of the site of the holy land of the Coconut Religion. In Con Phung there is also a handicraft village producing furniture with materials taken from the coconut tree, and families raising bees for honey from the longan flower. The product is sold on the spot to visitors. It is also known as the Island of the Coconut Monk after a patriotic monk named Ong Dao Dua lived and founded his own sect here.

VAM HO BIRD SANCTUARY
