Ô Môn

Ô Môn is an urban district in Cần Thơ located within the Mekong Delta region, organized into seven wards spread across the flat terrain. The area is structured around numerous waterways and agricultural land, with settlements along water routes that facilitate local movement and farming.

The district was formally established in 2004 through administrative reorganization to improve regional governance in Cần Thơ. Its creation reflected efforts to restructure local administration and better serve growing communities across the delta.

The area reflects daily life shaped by waterways, where boating and riverside commerce remain central to how people move and trade. Local customs around rice farming and food preparation tie communities directly to the seasonal patterns of the Mekong region.

Getting around here is easiest by small boat or local transport, as water routes remain the primary way to reach different parts. Plan for wet conditions and wear appropriate footwear, since many paths and roads are unpaved and influenced by water levels.

This place is known for its floating markets where sellers conduct trade directly from boats, maintaining a centuries-old practice adapted to life on the water. Visitors can witness how commerce flows through the delta using traditional boat-based methods that remain active today.
