Region
Vietnam FactbookPlacesMekong Delta
In plain English
The Mekong Delta is the vast river plain in southern Vietnam where the Mekong River splits into nine channels before reaching the sea. It is the country's rice bowl and fruit basket, a flat, green landscape of waterways, floating markets and stilted houses that feels entirely different from the rest of Vietnam.

Everything published in this region: the provincial units, the destinations inside them, and the sights, routes and dishes tied to them.
