Where the Majestic Life is Gurgling.

Mekong Delta tours usually involve at least three destinations, My Tho, Can Tho and Chau Doc. Cruising down the Mighty Mekong, real life is all that you can see for this magical Mekong Delta vacation.

The Vietnamese call this region Cuu Long (Nine Dragons), in reference to the Mekong River's nine principal tributaries. As the Mekong fans out across the land in its final push to the sea, it forms countless canals, the backdrop of life for delta residents, and a great showcase for those Mekong Delta travel lovers.

Mekong Delta tours of cruising or kayaking reveal bustling river markets, colorful fishing vessels, and a variety of floating homes. Agriculture is the delta's main industry. The flat, moist land is ideal for harvesting rice, making the region one of the world's largest rice producers. Fruit orchards, coconut groves, and sugar cane plantations also dot the landscape. The Vietnamese are relative newcomers to the delta – the region was dominated by the Cambodian Khmer people until the 18th century, when Vietnamese officials began to take control. Tensions between Cambodia and Vietnam over the area have persisted ever since, reaching a boiling point in the late 1970s. However, the two countries seem to be at peace nowadays, and the delta population is a fascinating mix of Vietnamese and Khmer, along with some Chinese and Cham influences. While the cities and towns of the Mekong Delta have the river in common, each one has something different to offer the Mekong Delta fun seekers, from bird sanctuaries to mangrove forests to beaches.

My Tho is the first gateway for you to start the whole Mekong Delta tours, where the biggest attractions are to be found along the riverside but not in the city, kite flying games in the laid-back streets are also amazing, though. Can Tho is, as a matter of fact, the unofficial capital of this region, for the pouring Mekong Delta travel fans all over its wide boulevards and elegant waterfront. If you are planning on multi-country Indochina tours including Cambodia, Chau Doc is the passage to your Cambodia tours. Don't neglect this floating gateway, it has a lot to offer you: pilgrimage sites, floating villages and one of the most attractive waterfronts in your Mekong Delta tours.
