Receiving valuable nutrients from the upper Mekong, the region is a very rich and lush area, covered with rice fields, fruit orchards, fish and vegetable farms. The region produces more than a substantial proportion of Vietnam’s total agricultural production.
Life in the Mekong Delta revolves around the river with boats being a main mode of transport, most villages accessible by water, and a lifestyle of travelling at a relaxed pace. Floating and riverside markets are vibrant, busy and unique to the region; a great spot to meet and interact with local sellers and try local foods.
