From there you visit White Elephant Pagoda, a Buddhist temple where the guide describes the building and the religion that shapes daily life in the city.

The route also passes French colonial houses, the old train station, and local schools. Your guide points out how people live and work around these landmarks, offering context for what you see rather than just naming it. Drinking water is included throughout the walk.
