The history of this land also made it a meeting place of many different Vietnamese cultures, from the Northern culture and Central culture of immigrants following Nguyen Huu Canh, to local Kho Me people, as well as Chinese people who fled by politic reasons for a new home, Indian businessmen, French civil servants from France or French colonized countries... With time, these cultures have mixed up to create a typical Southern culture characterized by its liberality, generosity, hospitality, altruism, adventurousness, adaptability... These characteristics reflect in the life styles and of course the dietary traditions of the Southern people.
