Every land has its own soul, every village its own cultural traits. In An Giang, a peaceful province along fertile rivers, that spirit is felt not only in its mountains, pagodas, and temples, but also in the rustic taste of everyday food—simple, yet full of warmth and heritage. This National Day, Lam Vien Nui Cam tourist area brings that soul to life with a folk cake pavilion at Thanh Long Water Park—a lively space that celebrates local culture while welcoming visitors from near and far.
Stepping inside, guests are instantly immersed in the bustle of an old village market. The fragrant aroma of palm sugar honeycomb cake (bánh bò thốt nốt)—a signature of An Giang—fills the air, stirring nostalgic memories. Soft coconut-filled print cakes (bánh in) embody the gentle sweetness of the southern countryside. Bowls of lotus seed and longan sweet soups, light and aromatic, awaken the senses with flavors that bridge festivity and reminiscence.
At Cam Mountain, these cakes and sweet soups are more than culinary delights; they are vessels of cultural memory. Each traditional treat carries a story, a piece of rustic life where simplicity and peace remain untouched by modern haste. “Cuisine is not only for savoring, but also for remembering,” locals often say. The folk cake pavilion at Lam Vien exemplifies this belief, turning food into living heritage.
Within the cool mountain air, where ripples shimmer across the lake and children’s laughter echoes, families gather around trays of cakes to share warmth and joy. Adults rediscover flavors of their youth, while children explore the excitement of new tastes. Together, they create a festive scene filled with laughter and togetherness.
Among the highlights of this holiday is the “Golden Star Cake,” crafted as a sweet emblem of national pride. Its vibrant colors and cheerful flavor make it a symbolic greeting to every guest on this special day. Adding to the countryside charm, a glass of fresh sugarcane juice costs only VND15,000, an invitation to savor the simple pleasures of southern countryside life.
The folk cake pavilion at Lam Vien Nui Cam is thus more than a culinary stop—it is a journey back to cherished memories. Visitors not only enjoy the sweetness of cakes, but also experience a living culture, where the flavors of home blend with the majesty of the mountains, leaving a deep impression on the heart.
This National Day, let Cam Mountain be your destination—breathe the fresh mountain air, splash into Thanh Long Water Park, and savor the countryside spirit at the folk cake pavilion.
