Can Tho is the capital of the Mekong Delta, an area renowned for its richness.
Known as Vietnam's breadbasket, the Mekong Delta produces enough rice to feed the entire country with a sizeable surplus leftover. Take a sampan ride that meanders through small villages and experience the simple lives of the Mekong people.
Can Tho is the capital of the Mekong delta - a thriving metropolis with huge streets, little action and loads of mosquitoes. Although Can Tho has its own market by the riverside, the principal attraction would have to be the nearby floating markets.
A mishmash of cultures - Vietnamese, Khmer and Chinese - gives the city an almost cosmopolitan feel.
Being rather industrious, the centre of Can Tho is quite busy and noisy with motorised cyclos roaring up and down the streets combined with throngs of people going about their lives.
There are a number of pagodas worth visiting. Attractions in town include the 1852 Binh Thuy Temple and its 100-year-old stuffed tiger, the Ho Chi Minh Museum, the Central Market and the Cantonese Congregation Pagoda.
