The Mekong Delta, a network of large rivers and canals lined with water palms, is a vast and fertile stretch of wetlands. Thanks to sediments carried by the powerful River of Nine Dragons (named after its nine arms), it produces enough rice to feed the whole country. The cities of this region kept the authentic charm of southern Vietnam.
