The Mekong Delta is a network of distributaries in southwestern Vietnam, between Ho Chi Minh City and Cambodia. The river starts in the Himalayas and passes through China, Myanmar, Thailand, and Cambodia before reaching Vietnam, partly explaining why the waters are so murky. Over half of Vietnam’s rice and fish comes from the delta region. It’s vital to the Vietnamese economy.
Life in the area revolves around water, from the famous floating markets to the vast agricultural industries. An amazing variety of fruits, flowers, and livestock grow in the region. The Mekong River Delta is the rice basket of Vietnam, providing sustenance for millions.
