The rustic beauty of Cần Thơ was captured through the lens of a Belgian photographer, Harry Gruyaert, on his visit to Vietnam in 1994.

Gruyaert studied and worked in Paris before joining the prestigious photography magazine, Magnum.  In 1981, he began his photographic journey through the Middle East before making his way to the Mekong city of Cần Thơ.
