As the Mekong reaches the end of its 2,700 mile journey to the South China Sea, it splits into a multitude of canals and waterways that meander through the Mekong Delta. An area of huge abundance it is a lush, green patchwork of paddy fields, vegetable patches, sugar cane plantations, orchards and grassy meadows, its waters a hive of activity with floating markets, fishermen, commuters and water buffalo all part of the idyllic tableau.
Here, you are removed from the bustle of the cities and sights and immersed in a rural way of life that showcases a different side of
Southeast Asia, where a fascinating mix of cultures - Vietnamese, Chinese, Khmer and Cham - all live in harmony with the river and each other.
The very best way to discover this extraordinary destination is by taking to the waterways yourself on a Mekong River cruise. Those that explore the delta sail between the Vietnamese city of Can Tho and Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh, winding their way along the maze of waterways for you to admire the beautiful river scenery. To truly immerse yourself in this picturesque world however, there are certain places you should explore while you're there, all of which can be experienced on all Wendy Wu Tours featuring our deluxe
Victoria Mekong ship.
