The Mekong Delta is carpeted in a dizzying variety of greens. The life in this region is very unique and different from other places in Vietnam. The water moves to the rhythms of the mighty Mekong where boats, houses and markets float upon the innumerable rivers, canals and streams that criss-cross the landscape like arteries.
