Mekong Delta
A green maze of rivers, canals and orchards where daily life happens on the water.
Why visit Mekong Delta
South of Ho Chi Minh City, the Mekong River splits into a web of channels before it reaches the sea. This is Vietnam's rice bowl and fruit basket: flat, green and fertile, with houses, markets and workshops all facing the water.
Travel here is by boat and bicycle. Glide along narrow canals under arching palms, stop at family workshops making coconut candy and rice paper, eat fruit straight from the orchard, and get up early for the floating market, where boats trade produce at sunrise.
