CAN THO CITY NAMED "TÂY ĐÔ"- CAPITAL MEKONG DELTA  

Cần Thơ 
is the fourth-largest city in Viet Nam, and the largest city in the Mekong Delta

It is noted for its floating markets, rice paper-making village, and picturesque rural canals. It had a population of 1.2 million as of 2011, and is located on the south bank of the Hau River a distributaryof the Mekong River. 

The city is nicknamed the "western capital" (Tây Đô), and is located 169 kilometres (105 miles) from HCM city. Cần Thơ's climate is tropical with two seasons: rainy, from May to November; and dry, from December to April. Average annual humidity is 83%, rainfall 1,635 mm (64 in) and temperature 27 °C (81 °F)

 

The Mekong Delta is considered to be the " rice basket of Vietnam", contributing more than half of the nation's rice production. People say of Cần Thơ:

Cần Thơ gạo trắng nước trong,

Ai đi đến đó lòng không muốn về.

Cần Thơ, white rice, pure water,

All who come wish never to leave.

Cần Thơ is famous for its floating markets, where people sell and buy things on the river, as well as the bird gardens and the port of Ninh kieu. The city offers a wide range of tropical fruits such as pomelos, longans, jackfruits, mangos and durians... The Can Tho musium has exhibits on the city's history
 

Can Tho province sprawls westwards from the eponymous provincial capital along the southern bank of the Bassac (Hau) River -- the larger of the two branches of the Mekong River. Bordered to the west by An Giang and Tien Giang provinces, to the south by Hau Giang and to the north, on the other side of the river, by Vinh Long and Dong Thap, Can Tho Province is one of the most popular Delta destinations among travellers and tourists alike. The province is actually a municipality which was given provinical status when it was carved out of the larger original province (also called Can Tho) in 2004. The remainder forms the new province of Hau Giang which lies to the south. This elevated status reflects Can Tho's importance in the region, both as a trading and transportation hub and as home to the Delta's largest city.
