Mekong River is the artery of five countries in Southeast Asia: Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and Myanmar. Mekong Delta (or ‘Nine Dragon River Delta’) is formed by the sediments deposited by the river, and the process that continues until today provides silt deposits to extend the delta nearly 79m per year. Thanks to this process, the land is fertile with numerous agricultural and fishery products such as rice, fruits, coconut, shrimp, fish, etc. Though the area is mainly rural, it is one of the most populated and well-developed in agriculture.
Taking a day tour to Mekong Delta, travelers can visit floating markets or go to orchards and fish farms. Those wishing to discover the variety of Vietnamese cultures can visit beautiful Khmer pagodas in Soc Trang and Tra Vinh. The Khmers who occupy a large proportion of the region’s population still retain their special culture and magnificent architecture. For a distance, head to the west, travelers can go to Rach Gia and take a boat to Phu Quoc Island.
Together with Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong Delta is a must on your trip to Southern Vietnam.
