Vietnam's Mekong Delta
Can Tho
While the Mekong Delta is home to plenteous remote villages, it also hosts a variety of lively centers. Can Tho, the hub of the Delta, is both animated and welcoming. Here find Mekong’s largest market as well as spectacular floating cafés and the Ho Chi Minh Museum with its cultivated gardens of orchids and bonsais. Bordering Cambodia lies the Chau Doc, home to a sprawling market, social town square and the vibrant yellow stucco and tiered roof of the Chau Phu Pagoda.
Home to over a million people, Can Tho City is the logical hub for anyone planning on exploring the province. With a wealth of hotels and guesthouses, a very well developed and affordable tourism infrastructure, a healthy supply of eateries and a selection of interesting floating markets within easy reach, a visit to Can Tho is an absolute must.
