Mekong Delta

The Mekong Delta is formed by nine tributaries of the Mekong River and is often referred as the 'rice bowl' or the 'garden from heaven' of Vietnam. Because the soil is very rich you will find here countless green rice paddies and dozens of tropical fruits, which only grow in this certain area. A visit to this region allows us to explore the 'life on the water' of the local people. Because of periodical floods the local people adapted their lives to he water. Experience their floating houses, floating schools, floating mini-supermarkets and even their complete floating markets! You will be overwhelmed by the wet rice civilization.

My Tho

My Tho or "The City of Good Perfumed Herb" is the Capital of Tien Giang province, north of Mekong Delta. With year-round vibrant rivers, endless rice paddies, verdant fruit orchards and peaceful rustic settings, My Tho offers perfect conditions for an ideal retreat in South of Vietnam.

Cai Be

Cai Be is a pretty busy hub of the Mekong Delta, after the touristy Can Tho. It makes a typical image of the region: immense water, verdant orchards and fertile paddies all around.

Only 100km from Ho Chi Minh City, Cai Be offers you a chance to escape completely into another world where people live a relaxed and happy life ever.

Can Tho

Can Tho is the heart of Mekong Delta, formerly the Capital of southern Vietnam or Tay Do. It is a city of poetic landscape, vibrant local markets and fantastic food.

Wandering around its revierside streets lined with restaurants and cafes, indulging in cool breeze from the Hau river and wrapping up a day in magnificent sunset, you will catch an essence of the city. Can Tho also makes a great base to explore the endless waterways of Mekong Delta.

Ben Tre

Ben Tre is a little province in the east of Mekong Delta, being wedged between two main arms of Tien River. Ben Tre shares borders with Tien Giang, Tra Vinh and Vinh Long. It has one township also called Ben Tre and 7 other small districts, including Ba Tri, Binh Dai, Chau Thanh, Cho Lach, Giong Trom, Mo Cay and Thanh Phu. The province also accounts for the greatest part of Khmer ethnic population of the region.

Ben Tre is known as the land of coconut and also the cradle of "Dong Khoi" ("simultaneous insurgency"). Recording some of the fiercest stages of the American-Vietnam War, Ben Tre is heard by most students of the two countries' history.

The sleepy and laid back Ben Tre is usually bypassed by most travellers coming to the Mekong delta. Considering its unparalleled beauty and historical significance, however, this picturesque area is definitely well worth a visit. It is also a perfect destination for an authentic homestay in Mekong Delta.

Long Xuyen

Long Xuyen is the capital of An Giang, an increasingly popular province in Mekong Delta, made famous for its relaxing atmosphere and beautiful colonial houses.

Chau Doc

Chau Doc is an interesting destination to explore: its spectacular mountains, unique floating fishing houses and historic temples and pagodas.

Thanks to its 100km boder with Cambodia, Chau Doc is getting more and more popular among travellers who wish to enter Cambodia via the water way.
