My Tho

My Tho, the capital of Tien Giang province is the gateway to the Mekong Delta for tourists on a day trip from Ho Chi Minh City. The former capital of South Vietnam before unification is a little over one hour bus trip away from My Tho which is a small enough town to walk around.My Tho has two lakes which look especially good at night and the Pagoda is worth a visit. The town has a population approaching 160,000 so there is plenty of activity to enjoy.
