Tra Vinh
For those who are planning a Vietnam tours, Tra Vinh is a nice place to go. Boasting more than 140 Khmer temples scattered about the provincem, Tra Vinh is a quiet place for exploring the Mekong’s little-touted Khmer connection. The Town itself is fairly quiet and sees little tourist traffic, owing to its somewhat isolated location on a peninsula. Getting there is a straight up and back trip, because no car ferries cross the rivers here. Vietnam’s Khmer minority are almost all followers of Theravada Buddhism. If you have visited monasteries in Cambodia, you may have observed that Khmer monks are not involved in growing food and rely on donations from strictly religious locals. Here in Tra Vinh, Vietnamese guides will proudly point out the moks’ rice harvest as one of the accomplishments of liberation. To the Vietnamese government, nonworking monks were seen as parasites. The Khmers don’t necessarily see it the same way and continue to donate funds to the monasteries surreptitiously. Visit it, and it will impress your Vietnam holiday with its own way.
