Mỹ Tho, Provincial capital in Tiền Giang, Vietnam.
Located 70 kilometers from Ho Chi Minh City, Mỹ Tho sits along the Tiền River, creating a network of waterways through the Mekong Delta region.
Chinese refugees founded Mỹ Tho in 1680 after fleeing Taiwan during conflicts with General Shi Lang, establishing the first major settlement in this Mekong Delta area.
The city name translates to 'Beautiful Reed' in Vietnamese, reflecting its position among extensive waterways where fishing and agriculture shape daily life patterns.
Visitors access four nearby islands - Dragon, Tortoise, Phoenix, and Unicorn - through regular boat services departing from the central river port.
Mỹ Tho houses Vinh Trang Temple, which combines Vietnamese, Chinese, European, and Khmer architectural elements across its two-hectare grounds.
