I got the agenda by chance when I was on the ferry. It shows that the event will take place in Can Thanh town.
By the way, I think the event is good opportunity to explore local culture as well as the mangrove ecosystem nearby. A good bargain, right?
The below are some shows which I think they’re interesting.
