Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint along the river looking across the floating market or Ninh Kiều Wharf toward the Cần Thơ Bridge, showing floating water hyacinths and wooden sampans in the foreground, the active river commerce, bamboo poles, and lotus bridge in the middle-ground, and the soaring cable-stayed towers of Cần Thơ Bridge and the vast delta horizon in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick water coconut palm groves along the canals, floating water hyacinths, and riverside orchard fruit trees.
