Mekong Delta
Vietnam, Vietnam
Region in southwestern Vietnam. It lies in southern Vietnam, driest and most comfortable between December and April.
Why visit: A landscape of water — floating markets, stilt houses, orchards and rice paddies laced by canals rather than roads.
- ›Get to a floating market at dawn — by 8 AM it is over
- ›Stay a night in a homestay rather than day-tripping from Saigon
- ›Take the small canal boats, not just the main channel
- ›Try the fruit at the orchards; this is the country's fruit basket
