Can Tho Grand prison is an important historical site to visit in the city. It was initially built by the French colonists from 1878 to 1886 but then was used by the South Vietnamese and Americans during the Vietnam War

AFTER BREAKFAST Can Tho Museum on the corner of Hoa Binh and Tran Quoc Toan streets.

Munirangsyaram pagoda 36 Hoa Binh boulevard, Tan An Ward, Ninh Kieu District, Can Tho

The museum, with ample English translations, exhibits Can Tho historical relics about cultures and inhabitants in Can Tho through historical periods, native plant and fish specimens, rice production achievements of three main ethnic minorities: Kinh (Viet), Hoa (Chinese Vietnamese) and Khmer during the process of nation building and national defense and development, which has resulted in today’s beautiful Tay Do land.

Originally built in 1946 for the local Khmer community, Munirangsyaram Pagoda (or also called Munirensay Pagoda) is a little gem in the city centre. This Khmer Theravada Buddhist pagoda features some fantastic ornamentation and a noticeable lack of Taoist spirit decorations, which are so commonplace in pagodas of the Vietnamese Mahayana style. In addition, the twostorey structure has an upstairs sanctuary that comes with an almost life-size Buddha image.

Quang Duc Pagoda 67 Mậu Thân, An Phú, Ninh Kiề u, Can Tho Beautiful pagoda, well decorated and colorful for photo taking. Interesting architecture, roof lines & columns
