The Mekong Delta in southern Vietnam is a vast maze of rivers, swamps and islands, home to floating markets, pagodas and villages surrounded by rice paddies. Its water world where boats, houses, markets float upon the innumerable rivers, canals, and streams, offers a unique experience during your holiday to Vietnam.
When you travel to Vietnam, spend at least one day to discover this wonderful area, and of course, if you have more time, you have many choices to understand more deeply about lives, people and traditions here.
