Unicorn Island is located in the middle of the Mekong Delta just a few miles outside of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). The island is a haven for cottage industries that range from bee keeping to fruit production to candy making.

 

When you reach the island you switch to a smaller sampan, a canoe like boat for a sightseeing ride. A sampan accomodates 4 people excluding the canoeist. The ride takes you through palm tree lined canals which gives beautiful glimpses of country side Vietnamese life.

Apparently you're supposed to drink this... Unicorn Island (Cồn Thới Sơn), on the Mekong River (near Mỹ Tho).

Really similar to Philippine rural villages.

The Unicorn represents Wisdom, the Phoenix represents Beauty, the Tortoise represents long life, and the Dragon represents power and intelligence. These are the four sacred animals of Vietnam

There were a few roosters pent up in their chicken wire huts. Dad says they fight them here for sport.
