Travelers to Mekong can travel from Ho Chi Minh to Can Tho or just can book straight flight to Can Tho airport. Lying on the bank of Hau (Bassac) River, the land of Can Tho is crisscrossed by tributaries and canals and waterway that have become the very familiar parts of the local people.

Another site to discover in Can Tho is Ong Temple – a perfect example of local worshiping culture. In the city, a few golden roofed Khmer pagodas are also worthy of your visit.
