Mekong Delta, Agricultural region in southwestern Vietnam.
The Mekong Delta forms a vast network of rivers, canals, and streams spreading across 40,500 square kilometers where the Mekong River meets the sea.
Archaeological evidence reveals settlements dating back to the 4th century BC, with civilizations such as Funan and Chenla establishing maritime trade networks.
The region incorporates influences from Vietnamese, Khmer, Chinese, and Cham communities, reflected in local architecture, cuisine, and farming methods.
The area produces more than half of Vietnam's rice output and contains extensive aquaculture farms across 2.6 million hectares of agricultural land.
The Cai Rang floating market near Can Tho displays hundreds of boats trading fruits, vegetables, and local products directly on the water channels.
