You step off the riverbank as the late-afternoon light loosens across the water. The Cai River carries a cool current and a low, steady rhythm; the board rocks underfoot and the paddle clicks the surface. Guides hand out short instructions, fit life vests, and you push off into a corridor of mangrove, fishing boats, and low concrete bridges, the city held at arm’s length.
