The raft drifts easy, bamboo poles knocking a steady rhythm as the Great River widens and the hills of Hanover fold into low, green ridges. Shade moves across the water; your captain—part storyteller, part guide—pilots a 30‑foot hand‑crafted bamboo raft while offering sugarcane and fresh jelly coconut to cool the air-warmed hands.
