Thoi Son islet Cù lao Thới Sơn
Orchard islet in the Tiền
Orchard islet in the Tiền: take the morning boat, then a sampan under the nipa, for the fruit and the music. This is Lân, in phường Thới Sơn, about 6 km from town and more than 1,200 hectares. Walk the orchards of longan, rambutan, Hòa Lộc mango, and An Phước plum, and hear đờn ca tài tử. Honey is tasted under the trees. Cồn Phụng is a different islet, on the Ben Tre bank.

Garden houses play đờn ca tài tử, including Dạ cổ hoài lang and Tình anh bán chiếu. Honey is tasted under the trees. Since the 1990s the islet has been a community-tourism stop: gardeners also row, host, play, and cook. It covers more than 1,200 hectares and more than 1,500 households, about 6 km from the city.
Keep the measurements apart. The islet figure is about 6 km from the city. A yard called Điểm du lịch Xanh Thới Sơn is 3.29 km from Vĩnh Tràng. That is the yard. Go in the morning, from the pier, and leave Cồn Phụng for the Ben Tre bank.
