The floating markets of the region with its abundance of fruits and vegetables and the floating houses with fish-farms underneath are just some of the highlights of the Mekong Delta. The food is good and the local people are very friendly and hospitable. Escape from the noisy city of Ho Chi Minh and feel at peace!
