Overview
One morning,
two sides of the Delta.
Hidden within the wetlands of the Mekong Delta, Tra Su is a place best experienced without hurry. Narrow waterways wind beneath towering cajuput trees. A floating carpet of vivid green transforms the water's surface. Birds move through the canopy while small sampans drift quietly through the forest.
