Lesser Whistling Duck, My Khanh Tourist Garden, Can Tho, Vietnam
My Khanh Tourist Garden, near Can Tho, Mekong Delta, Vietnam (September 2017)
Our day-trip to Cai Rang floating market, My Khanh Tourist Garden and Bang Lang Stork Garden was organised by Mekong Riverside Resort & Spa. Western tourists visiting the Tourist Garden might be surprised to see such entertainments as pig and dog racing, and crocodile fishing (baiting with chicken pieces suspended from bamboo rods). There were a few captive birds around a pond and in cages.
