Description:
This trip would leave the visitors a fascinating insight into the rustic daily life in the Mekong Delta and enjoy the natural wonders of the two cities in Southern Vietnam....
My Tho is the capital city of Tien Giang Province which is one of the provinces located in the Mekong Delta. My Tho has a long history which makes the city more interesting other than the fact that it is part of the famous Mekong Delta. Chinese refugees flee to My Tho in the 1680s then the area became part of the Khmer Empire until eventually taken by Vietnam in the 18th century. Today, My Tho is one of the most visited cities along the Mekong Delta and also for its great tasting rice noodle soup called “hủ tiếu Mỹ Tho”.
Connected by a bridge to the bustling market of My Tho is Ben Tre. Ben Tre is a coastal province in the Mekong Delta which is known for Vam Ho Bird Sanctuary, the colonial Ben Tre Museum that exhibits artifacts and photos of Vietnam’s revolutionary history and the breathtaking Vien Minh Pagoda.
