The Mekong river is one the longest rivers in the world.

It starts from the Tibetan Plateau and runs through 6 countries ( China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam )

The Mekong Delta in Vietnam is the last destination the river runs through before approaching into the ocean.

Because of it’s unique position, the delta inherited many good things from the Mekong river; such as fertile soil, water, fish, and a variety of biology ...
