In the Central region, rivers and lagoons maintain peaceful life and white sand beaches line the coastline. The Mekong River flows through the southern provinces, creating a fertile delta, nourishing mangrove forests and islands on both banks. In Vietnam, beaches are always close to you. Tourists who love blue sea and white sand are free to choose between destinations stretching along the coastline.
