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 ocean.
Because of its unique position, the delta inherited many good things from the Mekong River; such as fertile soil, water, fish, and a variety of biology ...
The Mekong Delta in Vietnam not only attracts many locals around the country to settle but also is a favorite place for visitors from everywhere who come to discover and enjoy the beautiful landscape.
If your next journey is to Cambodia and you are bored of taking the buses, we have another solution that is much better and more enjoyable.
