Sa Dec Vietnam is a fantastic stop on any Mekong River Cruise as it is a large trading hub which everyone who visit Vietnam loves. It has a population of over 200,000. Due to this, you can really get a glimpse into the locals' life through visiting fish and food farms, learning about how they make crafts, and by interacting with locals in fruit and fish markets. A Sa Dec tour will bring you to its charming bonsai garden, floating markets surrounding the town, and many adorable flower nurseries lining Sa Dec's waterways. Additionally, the Huynh Thuy Le Old House is a popular attraction in this town: this house was built in 1895 in Sino-French design style and since then was a setting for The Lover by Jean-Jacques Annaud. The Mekong River runs right along Sa Dec, making it an easy and must-see destination on any Mekong River Cruise.
