The gentle flow of the Ca Ty River

The Ca Ty River flows through this land like a soft, blue silk strip weaving between the roads, the old roofs and the crescent-shaped bridges. The river is not noisy, not ostentatious, just flows quietly, as if it has been accustomed to carrying on its shoulders the livelihood of many generations of people here.

In the early morning, when the water surface is still calm and sleepy, the Ca Ty River is like a giant mirror reflecting the first rays of sunlight. The sun rises from the sea, sprinkling down countless sparkling drops of gold, making the ripples also shine with a jade color. A few basket boats and small boats slowly glide by, the sound of oars splashing the water like the whisper of the river. The people here, though familiar with it, still stop to watch that peaceful moment of dawn.

At noon, the scorching sun poured down on the water. Under the shade of the banyan and coconut trees along the shore, people sought some shade, occasionally glancing at the Ca Ty River flowing rhythmically in the blazing sun. The old red tiled roofs and modern high-rise buildings reflected in the water, blending together like memories and the present coexisting.

In the afternoon, the wind from the Ca Ty River is cool and carries a bit of the saltiness of the sea. The water surface is a deep blue, reflecting the brilliant sunset like a classic oil painting. A few people leisurely fish, their eyes looking far away as if they are talking to the water. The wind brings the characteristic pungent smell of the river - a scent that only those who have lived on the banks of the Ca Ty can recognize, even with their eyes closed.

When night falls, the Ca Ty River turns into a mysterious black silk strip. The lights from the bridges and banks fall down, breaking into thousands of shimmering pieces. The riverside walkway is bustling with footsteps, laughter, and conversations mixed with the murmuring sound of water. The Ca Ty still flows quietly, passing through many stories, many lives, keeping the secrets of Phan Thiet.

People say that every land has a heart. For Phan Thiet, that heart is the Ca Ty River. The river not only nourishes people with its water source and the trips up and down the river, but also nourishes memories with the bustling boat racing seasons, the rising water seasons, or the beautiful sunny days that sparkle like a long silk cloth.

Anyone who comes here often stops by the banks of Ca Ty, looks at the slow-moving water, feels the cool breeze blowing from the riverbed, and lets their hearts sink, become lighter and more peaceful. In the future, even if the streets become more modern, the houses grow taller, the lights become brighter, the Ca Ty River will still flow gently from the past to the future, telling the story of this land in the wordless language of the waves. Anyone who has once stood by the banks, silently listening to the sound of wind and water, will never forget that gentle, persistent flow.
