My Tho
— The gateway to the nine dragons.
"Quiet islands and the first taste of the river's immense scale. Here, the Mekong shatters into nine mighty tributaries, nurturing everything it touches."
- Coconut candy workshops
- Traditional folk music (Don Ca Tai Tu)
- Dragon, Unicorn, Turtle, and Phoenix islands
- Serene palm-shaded waterways
Here the Mekong splits into several streams of the delta, numerous orchards and small canals, surrounded by lush greenery and coconut palm plantations. Transition into the delta region is so smooth that travelers do not have difficulty noticing this transition. Water ceases to serve as the limit of the earth's surface. To the contrary, water now plays a major role in shaping the landscape.
My Tho is the point at which travelers discover the tranquility characteristic of delta life. Movement of water takes place calmly. Small wooden boats float slowly along the shores with their gardens. The impression of gradual evolution arises, during which the grandeur of the river gives way to intricacies of its tributaries.
What is so special about My Tho? In this city, travelers feel the full impact of the river on the formation of delta landscape.
