The Gate To the MEKONG DELTA

by galy - last update: May 21, 2003

the Nine Dragons

Sunset in the Delta of the Mekong
The Mekong river divides into nine tributaries to meet the sea which the Vietnamese call Cuu Long, or “the Nine Dragons”.
The river is the source of all nourishment in the Delta and serves as the main transportation way and market place as well. In Can Tho’s floating market you can see the trade in the Delta’s rich rice and fish stocks, and the lush fruit and vegetables unique to the area.
The pace of life in the Delta remains slow and the daily routine has changed little in centuries. Drifting down the small canals, modern life with all its worries seems a world away

Pros:"So many things to see"
Cons:"Hot and Humid"
In A Nutshell:"Let the river choose the pace"
