The “Cù Lao Dung – Cần Thơ 3 Days 2 Nights” program is an educational excursion designed to explore the heritage sites at the downstream of the Mekong River. The first day focuses on Cù Lao Dung, where students will experience local life at a Homestay, engage in ecological activities like conquering the bamboo bridge and paddling through the mangrove forest, contribute to the forest planting project, and learn about Khmer culture through traditional dances and cake-making. The second day involves traveling to Cần Thơ, with a stop in Sóc Trăng to visit a stained-glass workshop and a bánh pía facility, followed by check-in at a 3-star Resort in Cần Thơ. The final day is dedicated to exploring the Cai Rang Floating Market, a water-based cultural heritage site, and learning about the agricultural supply chain by visiting a mat weaving house and a traditional hủ tiếu workshop before returning to Ho Chi Minh City.
