Mekong River Delta, also known as Cuu Long Delta (Vietnamese: Đồng Bằng Sông Cửu Long – Because of 9 estuaries to terminate the flow of the Mekong River to the ocean), is the southernmost part of Vietnam, located to the southeast of Cambodia, is the most fertile land and has the largest population in Vietnam with about 20 millions people. This region is renowned for its natural beauty and cultural heritage, with numerous traditional villages, floating markets, and unique local food. The delta's geography is characterized by a flat terrain with an average elevation of 0.5-1.2 meters above sea level, making it ideal for agriculture, particularly rice cultivation. The Mekong Delta is known for its unique culture, heavily influenced by agriculture and water-based traditions, with a vibrant community of friendly and hospitable people.
