Discover The Mekong Delta Holidays
The Mekong Delta region encompasses a large portion of
south-western Vietnam, where the country slows to the rhythm of its
winding waterways, palm-lined shores and peaceful rural life. In
the heart of this unique region, the mighty Mekong River branches
into tranquil canals that flow past jungle greenery and stilted
river homes. In the island town of Ben Tre, once only accessible by
boat, time seems to move more gently. Explore this serene setting
by river and road, pausing to learn traditional crafts like
brick-making and grass mat-weaving, and enjoy a fresh, local lunch
featuring tropical fruit and Delta-grown produce.
Further south lies Can Tho, the delta's largest city, where
Buddhist temples, Khmer pagodas and tree-shaded streets create a
relaxed charm. Discover the colourful Ong Temple, with its incense
drifting through the air, or admire the golden carvings of
Munirensay Khmer Pagoda before strolling across the curved Ninh
Kieu Bridge, lit beautifully at night.
