Getting to the Mekong River Delta means going through Ho Chi Minh City, formerly called Saigon. It's a great city with plenty of recent political history. Just outside one can find old forts of the Viet Cong and the incredible Cao Dai temples. Getting to the end of the Mekong River brings you to vibrant villages with great floating markets where the pineapples and bananas just can't be fresher!
