Things to Do on a Southeast Asia Cruise with Uniworld River Cruises

Southeast Asia offers one of the most serene and stunning regions of the world. Cruise along the Mekong River with Uniworld to witness the exalted Angkor Wat temple complex and see the growth of Vietnam as you tour Hanoi.

• Sampan Cruise, An Kiet House, Rice-paper and Candy-making Shop, Sa Dec Canal Cruise, Brick and Rice Factories and Huynh Thuy Le House (Cai Be, Vietnam)
  You are in for a full day when you visit the village of Cai Be. During the day you’ll visit the An Kiet House, which was built 150 years ago and serves as a look into the area’s past. Then pick up a treat at the candy shop where they make rice paper and popped rice as well. Rice is also used to make tiles and bricks, which you’ll learn about when you visit factories later in the day. Lastly, you’ll see the house where the novel The Lover by Marguerite Duras took place.
   

• Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom (Siem Reap, Cambodia)
  Discover the beauty and importance of the Angkor Wat temple complex. You’ll also visit Angkor Thom, which was once the capital of the Khmer Empire. This complex includes a pyramid temple and the Terrace of Elephants. After a day of sightseeing you’ll attend a performance of the Apsara dance. Apsaras are similar to Greek muses.
