Phat Diem Stone Cathedral – Kenh Ga Floating Village - Vietnam Packages

Marvel at Phat Diem Stone Cathedral: Phat Diem Cathedral in the northern province of Ninh Binh is not just any old church. It is one of the most intriguing religious buildings in the country. The architect, Tran Luc, was a local Catholic who had no formal training. His vision, erected in the late 19th century, is a fantastic mix of East & West.

The Village of Kenh Ga (Chicken canal) gets its name, apparently, from the number of wild chickens that used to live here. That is the riverine way of life and the main draw. The local people seem to spend most of their lives on the water: watching over their floating fish-breeding pens, harvesting river grass for fish feed or selling veggies boat-to-boat. Even the children commute to school by boat. The river used for everything from bathing, to washing plucked chickens. In particularly, here people row boats with their feet.
