Can Tho – A city of rivers
Besides its geographic significance as a vital transport hub linking provinces in the Mekong Delta region, Can Tho is often called a “city of rivers” as it spans approximately 65 km along the Hau River with an intricate network of waterways. Recognised as one of five centrally governed cities since 2004, Can Tho is a youthful, dynamic urban centre on the process of modernisation.
