Nearby Local Attractions

First, the *Long Xuyên Floating Market*, just 12 kilometers away, is one of the Mekong Delta’s most authentic floating trade hubs. Wander between wooden boats piled high with tropical fruits, local handicrafts, and freshly cooked street food, and join locals for a breakfast of hu tieu noodles served straight from a boat kitchen.

Travel Tips

Book your parking spot in advance, as spaces are limited even though they’re free. If you’re traveling with a pet, notify the front desk at the time of booking to confirm arrangements. The guesthouse is located down a narrow residential alley, so if you’re arriving by taxi, ask the driver to drop you at the entrance of hẻm 8 on Trần Hưng Đạo. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing and insect repellent for day trips into the delta’s wetlands, and book a guided tour through the guesthouse for discounted rates on activities. Don’t leave without trying the locally grown pomelos and Mekong coconut candy available from street vendors near the guesthouse entrance.
