Mekong River - HO CHI MINH (SAIGON), VIETNAM

The Mekong River is one of Southeast Asia’s most important waterways, shaping life, trade, and culture across multiple countries before reaching southern Vietnam. Near Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), the river becomes a broad, slow-moving artery where boats, floating activity, and riverside settlements reflect everyday life along its banks.

This section of the Mekong offers a quieter, more rural contrast to the city’s urban core, highlighting the deep connection between water, transport, and local communities in the region.
