The sun lowers behind low rice-paddy ridges and the Do (Thu Bồn) River takes on a copper edge. You step from a small dock into a round basket boat for a short, quiet ride that feels like slipping into an older pace—then transfer to a low, floating bamboo raft set just off the riverbank. Lanterns and a welcome drink usher in the evening; the raft holds a small table, a charcoal grill and the hush of water nudging the poles.
