This small street overflows with murals painted by Vietnamese painters with the purpose of depicting the daily life of the town&#8217;s inhabitants. These murals depict Can Tho&#8217;s past and present, and the occasion for making them was the celebration of Tet, the Vietnamese lunar new year.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With every step you take, you can sense an atmosphere with a retro flavour. In the time-worn artwork, you catch glimpses of elements that tell the story of the lifelong habits of Can Tho residents, from spending a dreary day on the Mekong Delta to net fishing, from preparing food for lunch to depicting a splendid colonial villa.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An aeroplane on takeoff is ready to enter the clouds.<br\/>And you, who are walking down this street looking around at every step, suddenly find yourself immersed in a book of poetry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Can Tho, Tran Quoc Toan Street is decorated with murals by Vietnamese artists depicting local life and celebrating Tet, the Lunar New Year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":423249,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_wds_title":"","_wds_metadesc":"","_wds_focus-keywords":"","_wds_meta-robots-adv":"","_wds_meta-robots-noindex":false,"_wds_meta-robots-nofollow":false,"_wds_meta-robots-index":false,"_wds_meta-robots-follow":false,"_wds_autolinks-exclude":false,"_wds_canonical":"","_wds_opengraph":[],"_wds_twitter":[],"wds_primary_category":0,"wds_primary_tracks":0,"wds_primary__dg_original-language":0,"wds_primary__geo-map":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[816],"tags":[1152,910],"tracks":[1169],"_dg_original-language":[1039],"_geo-map":[1100],"class_list":["post-423276","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-journals","tag-experiences","tag-mekong-en","tracks-destinations","_dg_original-language-italian","_geo-map-vietnam-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/doogreporter.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/423276","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/doogreporter.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/doogreporter.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doogreporter.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doogreporter.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=423276"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/doogreporter.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/423276\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doogreporter.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/423249"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/doogreporter.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=423276"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doogreporter.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=423276"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doogreporter.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=423276"},{"taxonomy":"tracks","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doogreporter.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tracks?post=423276"},{"taxonomy":"_dg_original-language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doogreporter.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/_dg_original-language?post=423276"},{"taxonomy":"_geo-map","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doogreporter.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/_geo-map?post=423276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
