Can Tho is the largest city in the Mekong Delta, at the heart of a region shaped by a dense network of river branches, canals and rice paddies. Local life stays organized around water far more than elsewhere in Vietnam.
Floating markets
Cai Rang floating market, one of the delta's largest, gathers dozens of boats loaded with fruit and vegetables every morning, an iconic Mekong Delta scene.
Orchards and canals with family
The narrower canals around the city are explored by small rowboat, amid tropical orchards, an activity well suited to a family outing.
Can Tho is 3-4 hours by road from Ho Chi Minh City; December to March, the dry season, stays the most pleasant time for exploring the canals.
