Introduction

In the Mekong Delta, you will be able to experience unique Vietnamese culture, including floating water hyacinths, houses built on riverbeds, and early morning trading on ferries. If you want to explore this region, Ben Tre is a good starting point, named "Beautiful Reed," where a boat will take you through the reed palm forest, allowing you to momentarily forget the busy city life. The highlight of the Mekong Delta is Can Tho, where thousands of Vietnamese people wearing conical hats conduct food trading on boats every morning. You can witness this spectacular scene and visit Chau Doc to explore the local religion and culture, such as watching the fabric weaving in Khmer villages and visiting floating fish farms, or visiting a local mosque or shopping at the market. Whatever you choose, the Mekong Delta will provide you with a unique Vietnamese experience.
