Mekong Delta, Vietnam Daily life at the Mekong Delta is a leisurely 2-hour drive outside of Ho Chi Minh City, so be ready to welcome your guide and driver right after breakfast at your hotel in the former Vietnamese capital. Passing local communities and taking well-paved motorways, the 170,000-inhabitant counting town of My Tho marks the entrance into the Tien Giang province. It is right here where you get your first impression of the ‘rice bowl of Vietnam’ as hundreds of rice paddy fields province multiple harvests each year. It may not be the place for seeing the floating markets but in and around the town, life, as it has been for generations, makes it worth the visit.
My Tho, My Tho, Vietnam From one of My Tho’s boat piers, we sail over the Mekong River, passing the multitude of orchards and the water coconut canopy that decorates the river banks.
En route to our disembarkation point, we make a stop at one of the fruit orchards for sampling some exotic fruits and get an insight into the processes of cultivation. Lunch is served at a local restaurant. 120 minutes
Vinh Trang Temple, My Tho, Vietnam Before our boat and coach brings us back in the direction of Ho Chi Minh City, we enter the realms of one of the more venerable pagodas of the Mekong Delta. Annexed from Cambodia by the invading Vietnamese in the 17th Century, the Delta remains home to descendants of the former Khmer Empire and is scattered with a working collection of temples and resident Buddhists that continue to use the Khmer language as their mother tongue.
The Vinh Trang Pagoda is an example of Buddhism influences, dating back to these times and you’ll immediately notice that the temple grounds radiate peace and serenity. We, unfortunately, have to leave back to Ho Chi Minh, leaving this sanctuary behind, for another 2-hour drive to your booked accommodation 90 minutes

We left cosmopolitan Ho Chi Minh City and reached the iconic Mekong River and its awesome Delta. Riding a small sampan and a rowing boat, we were thrilled by lush canals, rice fields, banana plantations, local homes and even traditional musicians. The Mekong Delta is a must see to all those traveling in Southern Vietnam. Enjoy!

Wie vereinbart wurden wir pünktlich vom Hotel abgeholt. Mit einem kurzen Zwischenstopp ging es direkt zum Mekong Delta. Eine halbstündige Fahrt durch einen kleinen Fluss folgte. Zwischendurch besuchten wir 2 Fabriken, in den uns die Arbeiten erklärt wurde (keine Verkaufsveranstaltung!) Wir durften Süßigkeiten, Poppreis kosten. Nach dem Mittagessen sind wir über 3 Stunden mit dem Boot gefahren, bis wir nach dem schönen Sonnenuntergang unser Hotel erreicht haben. Am nächsten Morgen ging es dann weiter zum Floating Market. Hier haben wir einen Einblick in das Leben der Verkäufer erhalten. Insgesamt war die Reise super organisiert und unser Guide Chau konnte uns viel über das Leben im Mekong Delta erzählen.
