My Tho
An industrious and prosperous town in the Mekong Delta, My Tho (the "beautiful and perfumed young girl") has preserved its elegant colonial houses along the river bank, as well as an attractive Chinese district. Above all, it is the departure point for a very pleasant excursion to the local orchard- and plantation-covered islands which provides an opportunity to explore the delta's exuberant vegetation, which is starting to attract an increasing number of tourists.
