Mekong Delta

Mekong Delta is the most Southern area of Vietnam. It's also called "miền Tây" which means "Western Vietnam".

It is famous for fruit and vegetable farming, rice fields, coconut trees and fishing. The biggest city is Can Tho, from where you can travel to other places as well. It"s a lot less touristy than other places in Vietnam, so if you like adventure, this is where you belong!

Can Tho

Can Tho became my favorite city in Vietnam because I love the people, the culture and the food here. It's a good place to learn about the life in Mekong Delta, especially at Cai Rang Floating Market.

Rach Gia

Rach Gia is a coastal city in South Vietnam. The city itself is nice but it's even more beautiful on Hon Son Island, Nam Du Island or Hon Tre Island.

Phu Quoc

Phu Quoc is the most famous island of Vietnam. You can get there by airplane or by ferry from Rach Gia.

It's very touristy but I also found some quiet spots.

Ca Mau

Ca Mau is the most Southern province of Vietnam. It's famous for crabs and shrimps. If you want to travel off the beaten path, this is where you should go (and try cua cà mau nha!)

Tra Vinh

Tra Vinh is the province of coconut trees and home to a very special type of coconut called "Sap Coconut" (dừa sáp) - really worth trying as you can only find it around Cau Ke in Tra Vinh Province!

Dong Thap

Dong Thap Province is famous for its lotus fields. Come here to enjoy the beauty of Vietnam!

Ben Tre

Ben Tre is close to Ho Chi Minh City and you can even go there on a day trip. It is famous for its coconut trees, floating markets and tasty food.

An Giang

An Giang province is famous for its palmyra trees, palm sugar and Khmer pagodas. There are also mountains where the weather is a bit cooler. It's worth a visit if you like to travel off the beaten path.

Ha Tien

Ha Tien is a coastal city that is close to the Cambodian border. From Ha Tien is also the fastest way to go to Phu Quoc by boat.
