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.
My Tho
You can go here from Ho Chi Minh City by bus. It takes about 2 hours. My Tho is the most accessible Mekong Delta town. You can take a boat across Tien River to Tuoi Son Island and Ben Tre, visit coconut candy factories, wander through fruit orchids and feast on fresh seafood.
Ben Tre
Ben Tre itself is a compact little market town. You can join in some activities such as going on boat trips along the Delta canals or general motor biking which bring you the opportunity to see the stunning rice paddy, scenery, seas of smiles and friendly people.
Can Tho
