The south of Vietnam has two administrative regions: Southeast with Ho Chi Minh city as its center and the grand Mekong River Delta, ‘Rice Bowl of Vietnam’. Lying offshore is the impressive collection of archipelagos with names like Phu Quoc, Con Dao, Nam Du.

South Vietnam appeals with different charms from the other two regions – Ho Chi Minh City takes you on a ride at a dizzying rhythm with almost everything to feel at one – from the hectic traffic, the multi-cultural architecture to the wide variety of foods. Cu Chi Tunnels, not very far away, teaches a powerful lesson about how Vietnamese people dealt with wars. While Mekong Delta has the charms of a bountiful wetland that has nurtured a very unique regional culture.
