Many women on a so-called “Taiwanese island,” located off the southern Vietnamese city of Can Tho, have now given up on their dreams of turning over a new leaf by marrying foreigners and settling in their husbands’ home countries.
Over 10 years ago, a wave of women marrying foreigners hit Tan Loc Island, now known as Tan Loc Ward, which is administered by Thot Not District.
The locality has since been dubbed “Taiwanese island,” as the number of local women getting married to Taiwanese men and living in their husbands’ homeland ranked among the highest compared to others across the Mekong Delta in southern Vietnam.
