Can Tho
Can Tho is one of the five centrally-run cities of Vietnam. It is the most bustling and developed city in the Mekong Delta, serving as the region's hub for economy, culture, society, healthcare, education, and commerce. Currently, Can Tho is designated as a Class I urban area and serves as a central city at both regional and national levels.
Having been the capital and the nuclear urban center of the Southwestern region since the French colonial period, Can Tho continues to uphold its role as the economic heart of the Mekong Delta today. Beyond its geographical significance as a vital transportation hub connecting regional provinces, Can Tho is also renowned as a "river city." The city boasts an intricate network of rivers and canals, vast orchards, and expansive rice fields. It is famous for Ninh Kieu Wharf and Cai Rang Floating Market—a quintessential cultural feature of Southern Vietnam.
According to the 2025 development plan, Can Tho is set to become the Mekong Delta's center for industry, trade, services, education, science and technology, healthcare, and culture. Simultaneously, it will serve as the gateway city to the lower Mekong sub-region and a crucial hub for both regional and international transportation, aiming to become a well-developed city within Southeast Asia.
Can Tho ranks among the cities with the most beautiful canals in the world.
