Hello we are finding a ...
Early sunshine on a country road lined with coconut trees, boats transporting coconuts on the river create a picture of a peaceful Ben Tre coconut land in Mekong delta river.
Do Minh Tan, from Hung Nhuong commune, Giong Trom district, works as a silversmith but has a hobby of taking photos of his Ben Tre hometown. The photos were taken in Mo Cay Bac and Ba Tri districts and mainly in Giong Trom's hometown.
On the picture is a coconut garden planted around a house in Mo Cay Bac district. Ben Tre is filled with alluvium from 4 tributaries, including Tien River, Ba Lai River, Ham Luong River and Co Chien River, along with islets, creating favorable conditions for coconut trees to grow.
Currently, Ben Tre province has more than 200,000 coconut growing households, accounting for about two thirds of the total number of households in the province. Therefore, everywhere in Ben Tre, visitors will see coconuts around, typically coconut trees stretching and winding along the concrete road in Bau Doi hamlet, Hung Nhuong, Giong Trom.
Minh Tan shared that, outside of work, he wandered around the countryside taking pictures of childhood memories. The silversmith loves to take pictures, especially he likes to hunt for the moment when the morning sun shines through the coconut trees. Photo taken at Tan Thanh, Giong Trom.

"The more I take photos, the more I like and love my hometown. The pictures I take and post on social networking groups, are loved by many friends, and getting many good comments are a small joy for me to continue taking photos," Minh Tan shared.
The long beds of coconut in Hamlet 3, Hung Nhuong, Giong Trom are images that tourists are easy to see when coming to Ben Tre for eco-tourism.

Ben Tre is considered the "green coconut capital" with more than 72,000 hectares of coconut gardens, of which Giong Trom district has more than 17,000 hectares. Ben Tre coconut production is the highest in the country, reaching nearly 800 million fruits/year. Taking this advantage, Ben Tre is building products and images associated with coconut trees, which are the outstanding values to exploit eco-tourism in the coconut land.
Coconut milk is also the ingredient that makes up the fat flavor when making cakes. After pouring the cake in the mold, people cut the pieces and sell them at the rural markets of Son Doc, Hung Nhuong, and Giong Trom such as pork skin cake, beef cake, baked banana cake or cassava cake.
