The Mekong Delta awaits as another significant part of your short Vietnam Cambodia trip. This lush, fertile region is often called the "rice bowl" of Vietnam. You’ll embark on a captivating boat trip along its intricate waterways, witnessing authentic riverside life, visiting local workshops, and experiencing the unique charm of floating markets (if applicable to the specific itinerary, otherwise, highlight general river life and local industries). This Cambodia Vietnam itinerary is expertly crafted to maximize your time, ensuring you experience the essential highlights of both destinations without feeling rushed.
