MY THO |
Capital of Tien Giang Province and one of the poorest
cities in the delta. The economy is based on fishing and the cultivation
of rice, coconuts, bananas, mangoes, longans and citrus fruit. |
MY THO CHURCH |
A solid pastel-yellow building built about a century
ago. The stone plaques set in the church walls express 'merci' and 'cam
on' to Fatima and other figures. |
CAO DAI TEMPLE |
A smaller temple than the one at Tay Ninh, but well
worth a visit. |
MY THO CENTRAL MARKET |
The streets are filled with stalls selling everything
from fresh food and bulk tobacco to boat propellers. |
CHINESE DISTRICT |
On the eastern bank of the Bao Dinh Channel, there
are still many people here of Chinese descent. |
VINH TRANG PAGODA |
A beautiful and well-maintained sanctuary. The charitable
monks here provide a home to orphans, disabled and other needy children. |
