The Closest Delta Town to Saigon

My Tho sits barely ninety minutes from Ho Chi Minh City on the Tien River, which makes it the most common starting point for a single-day look at the Mekong Delta. Boats from here reach the four small islands nicknamed Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix and Tortoise.

Unicorn Island and Vinh Trang Pagoda

On Unicorn Island, workshops turn coconut into candy while musicians play traditional don ca tai tu songs for passing boats. Back in town, Vinh Trang Pagoda mixes Vietnamese, French and Khmer architectural details behind a garden of bonsai and stone figures.
