Mekong delta cruise
Depart from: Ho Chi Minh
Stop off: Can Tho
Duration: 3 days 2 nights
Touring the orchards, paddy fields and swamplands of the
Mekong Delta, you could be forgiven for thinking you've stepped into
the pages of a geography textbook. A comma-shaped flatland stretching
from Ho Chi Minh's city limits southwest to the Gulf of Thailand, the
delta is Vietnam's rice bowl, an agricultural miracle that pumps out 38
percent of the country's annual food crop from just ten percent of its
total land mass. Rice may be the delta's staple crop, but coconut
palms, fruit orchards and sugar-cane groves also thrive in its
nutrient-rich soil, and the sight of conical-hatted farmers tending
their land is one of Vietnam's most enduring images.
