Located where the Mekong River meets the East Sea, Ben Tre is a peaceful land where water, greenery, and daily life blend in harmony. Known as the “land of coconuts,” Ben Tre welcomes travelers with its fresh air, calm atmosphere, and quiet energy that touches the soul from the very first moment.
Along the small canals, rows of coconut palms reflect on the water, and green islands formed by the Mekong create a gentle, natural landscape. A short boat ride under the shade of palm trees lets you listen to the whisper of the wind, observe local life along the river, and enjoy the easy rhythm of the countryside.
Beyond its natural charm, Ben Tre also offers authentic local experiences, such as visiting traditional coconut candy workshops to see how coconut candy is made, watching locals turn coconut shells and leaves into everyday crafts, or tasting tropical fruits in family gardens. When traditional Đờn Ca Tài Tử music – an intangible heritage recognized by UNESCO – plays in the background, you can truly feel the local culture of the Mekong Delta.
Ben Tre’s cuisine is simple but full of flavor, reflecting the genuine taste of Southern Vietnam. And above all, it’s the warm smiles and sincere hearts of the locals that make every visit unforgettable.
A trip to Ben Tre is more than a journey – it’s a chance to enjoy nature, meet kind people, and discover the quiet beauty of life in the Mekong Delta.
