The vast verdant
system of rivers, canals, and paddle field rice with
peaceful countryside lanes shadowed by lines of coconut and
fruit trees make Mekong Delta an ideal place for biking.
Especially an overnight in a local home is perfect for
learning typical Mekong Delta lifestyles as well as
interacting with the hospitable locals.
