Bến Tre

The city spans across 65.75 square kilometers between two branches of the Tiền Giang River, featuring a network of canals and waterways throughout its territory.

French colonial forces established their first inspection office along the Bến Tre canal in June 1867, leading to its provincial status declaration on January 1, 1900.

Traditional rice paper production and coconut processing form essential elements of local craftsmanship, contributing to both economic development and regional identity.

The Rạch Miễu Bridge connects the city to neighboring regions, while regular bus services provide transportation links to Ho Chi Minh City, 85 kilometers northeast.

The city maintains eight wards and six communes on Bảo Island, where an extensive canal system supports agricultural activities and local transportation needs.
