Mekong Delta
Where daily life takes on an entirely different pace on Vietnam's waterways
Overview
The Mekong Delta is Vietnam's rice bowl, a maze of rivers, swamps, and islands where life revolves around water. Day trips typically visit My Tho and include sampan boat rides through narrow canals, visits to floating markets (Cai Be, Cai Rang), coconut candy factories, tropical fruit orchards, and stilted villages.
