Mekong Delta, also called as Nine Dragon river delta, is the region in the South West of Vietnam where Mekong River reaches its end-point and approaches the sea. Most of the area in Mekong Delta is covered with many small rivers which are the distributaries of Mekong River.

Besides, this delta is also famous for its delicious tropical fruits, beautiful nature as well as rich culture.
