Why Travel to the Mekong Delta? Top 5 Unmissable Reasons

The Mekong Delta is a must-see tourist destination that we cannot miss by mentioning the Vietnam trip. With natural beauty and friendly people, this place attracts many foreign tourists to explore and experiment.


The Cool Atmosphere In Mekong Delta

With the plexus of rivers, lakes and surrounding canals, the atmosphere of the Mekong Delta is very fresh and pleasant. Therefore, this is the perfect place to make picnic trips in your trip to Vietnam, especially in the summer. You can walk along the vast orchards, visit the lush gardens or the green rice fields to feel the cool atmosphere here. Also, you should go to the Tien River and the Hau River to contemplate the natural landscape on both banks of these rivers and enjoy daily life in this peaceful land.
 

The Charming Landscape In Mekong Delta 

It is a characteristic of the Mekong Delta. You cannot forget the images of coconut bridges, stairs and country roads. All make the peace and simplicity of the Mekong Delta. If you make trips to this destination, you will be ecstatic with pictures of golden rice fields on one side and lotus fields blooming on the other. This is one of the most incredible landscapes of your trip to Vietnam.
 

Mekong Delta Is The Homeland Of Fruits 

The Mekong Delta has a large number of orchards. While visiting this place, you will have the chance to taste the fresh fruits directly from the orchard by picking them yourself. If you take a ride from Ben Tre to Cai Mon Orchard, you will find many durians in this land. In addition, there are a large number of other fruits that you should enjoy at least once, such as mangosteen, orange, grapefruit, plum and so on.
 

Friendly People In Mekong Delta 

Referring to why they go to the Mekong Delta in Vietnam, people often talk about the nature and the way people are treated. These traits are reflected in their friendly smiles and hospitality to those who visit their lands. No matter where you come from, they will treat you as if you were their friend. This personality has been associated with people for many years.
 

The Delicate Specialties In Mekong Delta 

When you are on your Vietnam trip, it will be a pity if you do not try to eat famous specialties, especially in wet areas like the Mekong Delta. Do not taste the food; you can not recognize the unique way of cooking. At this destination, you will have the opportunity to sample regional dishes such as sprouts, grilled snake heads, hot pot, salads, fried coconut, sour soup and so on.
