Ho Chi Minh City Local
The Mekong Delta is 175 kilometers southwest of the city, and you can reach it by bus or private tour. Many come here to see the colorful towns along the banks of the river, sample authentic cuisine, and get a sense of the laid-back lifestyle. You can cycle, boat, or kayak if you're feeling sporty, or browse the markets, shops, and architecture on land. There are also several temples and colonial mansions worth seeing.
