Enchanting Beauty of Thap Muoi Lotus Fields

Late March to early April, when the frogs start to croak, is the perfect time for a journey to visit the land of pink lotus, as dozens of hectares of lotus bloom in full splendor.

Bees, butterflies, and birds from all around flock here, adding a touch of dreaminess to the naturally charming and rustic scenery of this place.

Amidst the noisy and busy urban life, take a moment to leave behind all the chaos and return to the tranquil countryside. You will undoubtedly not regret this choice.

Lotus Fields nestled in My Hoa commune, Thap Muoi district, approximately 35km from Cao Lanh City. The expansive lotus fields, spreading over an area of nearly 20 hectares, allow visitors to comfortably choose their points of interest without worrying about competition or jostling.

After parking, guests will be transported by the field owner using a small boat across the river and into the lotus fields. Engaging in conversation with the field owner, just a few casual chats, and you can immediately feel the genuine and hospitable nature of the Mekong Delta farmers.

Simply pay the entrance fee of 10,000 - 20,000 VND, and everyone can freely take photos and videos. Traditional ao dai, conical hats, and other accessories can be rented on the spot to unleash creativity and capture memories amidst the budding lotus flowers at the beginning of summer with friends and family.

Especially, you can rent a light rowboat to paddle into the heart of the lotus fields and fully appreciate the pure and graceful beauty of the pink lotus flowers.

A visit to Thap Muoi would be incomplete without indulging in the local countryside specialties such as steamed lotus buds, grilled wild snakehead fish, roasted field mice, field crab hotpot, eel hotpot, and unique lotus-based dishes like lotus leaf-wrapped rice and lotus milk.

Sitting amidst the vast lotus fields, savoring lotus specialties will bring about a distinctly different and delightful experience.
