Can Tho
— The beating heart of the Delta.
"The epicenter of river commerce. Wake up to the profound symphony of hundreds of wooden sampans trading pineapples and dragon fruit on the mirror-like waters."
- Cai Rang floating market
- Lush fruit orchards
- Stilted riverside homes
- Endless green canals
One of the key features of Can Tho described by travelers is early morning light. In the morning the river wakes up and becomes a bloodstream of the city. Boats appear through the fog, the sounds of water are heard and the floating market comes alive. It looks as if the entire city lives under the auspices of the Mekong because it serves as a highway and place of assembly for the population of Can Tho.
The city itself is spacious and unhurried. Wide quays, shady alleys, small canals reaching the countryside emphasize the link between water and city life. Apart from the market, travelers remember the constant movement – fruits loading onto the ships, ferry services across the river and houses facing the bank.
In the case of Can Tho, we should pay special attention to the fact that the river here is no longer impressive but an integral part of people's life through habitual processes.
