Cần Thơ Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge over the Hậu (Bassac) River, the largest distributaries of the Mekong River, in the city of Cần Thơ in southern Vietnam. The bridge is 2.75 kilometers long. It has a 6-lane carriage way measuring 23 meters in width, with 4 lanes for traffic and two pedestrian lanes. It has a clearance of 39 meters, which will allow large ships to pass underneath the bridge. The bridge was inaugurated on April 24, 2010.

The bridge is currently the longest main span cable-stayed bridge in Southeast Asia. The cost of construction is estimated to be 4.842 trillion Vietnamese đồng (approximately 342.6 million U.S. dollars), making it the most expensive bridge in Vietnam.

Cần Thơ City constitutes an independent municipality at the same level as provinces of Vietnam. It was created in the beginning of 2004 by a split of the former Cần Thơ Province into two new administrative units: Cần Thơ City and Hậu Giang Province.

It borders the provinces of An Giang, Hậu Giang, Kiên Giang, Vĩnh Long and Đồng Tháp.

Can Tho is connected to the rest of the country by National Road 1A and Can Tho Airport. The Can Tho Bridge is opened for the traffic on April 2010. The 6-lane Saigon-Can Tho express way is also done in parts from Ho Chi Minh City to Trung Luong of My Tho. The hydrofoil express boat links this city with Saigon.

The site of Châu Đốc was long in history a territory of the Kingdom of Funan. The territory became Vietnam’s about 300 years ago. The town is near the picturesque mount of Sam where the Sam mount lady (Vietnamese: Bà Chúa Xứ Núi Sam) is worshipped. The Sam Mount Lady Ceremony is held every April of lunar calendar (May) every year.

The Imperial City (Vietnamese: Kinh thành Huế) in Huế is a walled fortress and palace in the former capital of Vietnam. The grounds of the Imperial City were surrounded by a wall 2 kilometers by 2 kilometers, and the walls were surrounded by a moat. The water from the moat was taken from the Huong River (Perfume River) that flows through Huế. This structure is called the citadel.

Vĩnh Long is a town in Vietnam. It is the capital of the Vĩnh Long Province in the Mekong Delta. Vĩnh Long is on the Co Chien river, which branches out from the Mekong at the narrows of My Thuan about 10 kilometers upstream, only to meet it later downstream. Across the Co Chien River from Vinh Long are the An Binh and Binh Hoa Phuoc islands, some 15 kilometers across, with the Mekong River on the other side. A number of canals run through Vĩnh Long, with tall vehicular bridges crossing them. Transport by boat is also possible, although parts of the town, particularly An Binh, become unreachable at low tide. A temple of literature is at the end of an old wet market along the canal Lavoo Nu.
