Mekong Delta
is the southernmost region of Vietnam. It is often referred to as
the rice bowl of Vietnam as it produces three harvests per year.
The fertile Mekong Delta is also famous for its tropical
fruits and flowers. The Delta area marks the end of a 4,500km
journey made by the Mekong
River after having
traveled through six countries. Traditional transportation in the
Delta is by boat along a vast network of canals and channels.
Boating along these canals and visiting the floating markets
always proves to be a fascinating and rewarding experience for all
visitors.

snakes for, among other things, snake wine and enjoy a bonsai
garden. In the afternoon return to Saigon |
