Tràm Chim National Park
A vast wetland reserve — cajuput forest flooded by seasonal rains, home to sarus cranes, storks and thousands of migratory birds. Best visited by boat in the dry season (December–April).
关于Đồng Tháp
Đồng Tháp is the delta's wildest corner — a patchwork of lotus fields, flooded forests and wetland sanctuaries where storks and herons gather by the thousand at Tràm Chim.
Further south, Sa Đéc's flower nurseries spill brilliant colour onto the canal banks, and the Tháp Mười lotus fields float like a painted dream. North into Tiền Giang (from the merger), Mỹ Tho anchors the river, Cái Bè's floating orchards drift on the current, and Thới Sơn island keeps the delta's isolation alive.
Đồng Tháp精选体验
Lotus fields of Tháp Mười
In summer, vast fields of lotus bloom — a flat horizon of pink and green, explored by small boat or bicycle through raised paths.
Sa Đéc flower nurseries
Rows of bonsai, chrysanthemum and medicinal plants spill colour onto canal banks — a horticultural market where growers still work by hand.
Gáo Giồng cajuput forest
Waterways threading through tall, straight tràm trees — the delta's timber heritage and a sanctuary for aquatic wildlife.
Mỹ Tho riverfront
The old river city, now accessed via fast bridge or long-tail boat — temples, markets and the Tiền Giang river's sweep.
Cái Bè floating orchards
A hamlet where orchard boats anchor — board a flat barge, float under fruit-heavy branches, eat lunch on the water.
吃什么
Lẩu mắm
Fish-sauce hotpot with organ meats and herbs — the Mekong's defining broth, sharp and deeply savoury.
Nem Lai Vung
Fresh spring rolls filled with pork, prawn and herbs, from the Lai Vung villages — lighter than fried versions.
Quýt hồng Đồng Tháp
Pink grapefruit from the province's orchards — eaten fresh or in salads, the delta's citrus at its sweetest.
Chuối nác chiên
Ripe banana fried in batter — sticky, golden and best eaten warm with sugar and condensed milk.
