Early rays of sunlight on a country road lined with coconut trees and boats carrying coconuts on the river create a picture of a peaceful Ben Tre coconut land in the Mekong Delta.
Do Minh Tan, living in Hung Nhuong commune, Giong Trom district, works as a silversmith but he has a hobby of taking photos of his hometown Ben Tre. These photos were taken in Mo Cay Bac, Ba Tri district and Giong Trom hometown.
In the picture is a coconut garden planted around a house in Mo Cay Bac district. Ben Tre receives alluvium from four tributaries, including Tien River, Ba Lai River, Ham Luong River, and Co Chien River, along with many small 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 encounter coconut trees around, typically the row of coconut trees stretching 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 to commemorate his childhood. The silversmith loves taking photos, especially when he likes to hunt for the moment when the morning sunlight shines through the coconut trees. Photo taken at Tan Thanh, Giong Trom, Ben Tre.
Peaceful houses with satellite TV antennas are a common image in the Vietnam countryside. "The more photos I take, the more I like and love my hometown. The pictures I take and post on social networking groups, are loved by many friends. They got many good comments are a small joy for me to continue this passion" Minh Tan shared.
Stretching coconut beds in Hamlet 3, Hung Nhuong, and Giong Trom are images that tourists easily encounter when coming to Ben Tre for ecotourism.

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 ranks first 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 outstanding values to exploit ecotourism in the coconut land.
Coconut milk is also the ingredient that makes up the rich flavor when making cakes. After pouring the cake into the mold, people cut it into pieces and sell it at the rural markets of Son Doc, Hung Nhuong, and Giong Trom such as nine cloud cake, honeycomb cake, baked banana cake, or cassava cake.
