Mr. Le Phuoc Tanh - member of Tan Thuan Assembly Hall (Tan Thuan Tay Commune, Cao Lanh City, Dong Thap Province) - said that since the beginning of the flood season, the association's fishing net removal tourist spot has been operating regularly, welcoming many tourists to visit and directly catch fish on the Tien River.

“This is a community tourism model that has been of interest to the locality and developed over the past many years. On average, every 4-6 weeks, the piles can be removed and the fish can be harvested. Each small pile of piles can harvest about 15-20kg of fish such as silver carp, ec fish, he fish, linh fish, catfish, long shrimp, etc.

When there is a group of customers "ordering", we will arrange and take turns unloading each point to ensure there are plenty of fish," said Mr. Tanh.

Coming here, visitors can fish by themselves, pick sesbania flowers, water lilies... then sit and wait for delicious food in the middle of the windy countryside.

Picking wild water mimosa flowers to eat fresh with linh fish or stir-fry with shrimp and seaweed to eat on the spot will definitely make visitors remember the taste of the West.

Experiencing the flood season at Go Thap Ecotourism Area is also a choice for many families with young children. This is one of the ecotourism spots located in the lotus field tourist complex in My Hoa commune, Thap Muoi district.

Tourists sit in the middle of the fields during the flood season to enjoy the breeze, while food is delivered to them by bicycle on 1m wide wooden bridges.
