TMG – In the modern era, did you know that many homes in the Mekong Delta still use earthenware stoves for cooking? If not, seeing one of these stoves up close will be a unique experience as you sail aboard the 4-star Victoria Mekong.
Seeing how these terracotta stoves are made (locally known as “cà ràng”) is a favorite guest activity when sailing through the Mekong Delta with Victoria Mekong Cruises, offering guests an authentic connection to local life.
Handling one of these stoves, crafted from natural clay formed by river silt deposited over years and years along the Mekong River, is nothing short of fascinating. These earthenware stoves are not just a cooking tool; they’re a unique cultural icon and embody the soul of the Mekong Delta. For the people of the Mekong Delta, these figure-eight-shaped stoves are designed to guard against wind and ash. Even more, they symbolize warmth, spirituality, and protection from the dark. They serve as a bridge between the spiritual world and the earthly realm, representing a peaceful life.
Every Victoria Mekong cruise is not just an opportunity to relax and get away but also a journey of discovery into the rustic lifestyle of the warm-hearted people of the Mekong Delta that we are incredibly proud to share with our guests.
