Can Tho is Vietnam's third-largest municipality, situated in the heart of the Mekong Delta. Following a significant administrative expansion on June 12, 2025, when Hau Giang and Soc Trang provinces were merged into Can Tho, the city has solidified its status as a key regional hub. Renowned for its vibrant floating markets, traditional Banh trang (rice paper) making villages, and intricate rural canal networks, Can Tho offers a unique blend of culture and nature. For frequent hotel travelers, selecting a base in central districts like Ninh Kieu provides convenient access to these iconic attractions while serving as a gateway to the expanded delta region.
