Here Are Some Tips For Your Trip To Mekong Delta During Flooding Season
Content []
What exactly is the flooding season in Mekong Delta, Vietnam?
The flooding season, also known as the Mekong River flood season, is a natural flood phenomenon, a typical feature of the Mekong Delta region in Vietnam. Although this is a flooding phenomenon, it is not a natural disaster for the entire population. The local people in the Mekong Delta are not affected by this natural situation, not in a negative way, at least.
The residents of the Mekong Delta consider the flood season as a time of changing agricultural practices, instead of farming, they turn to abundant fishery resources. The flooding season facilitates the agricultural land in the Lower Mekong region in both Vietnam and Cambodia to stop for a while. The flood washes away and submerges pest sources for agricultural crops, providing a good amount of silt fertility for the soil in the whole Mekong Delta.

Excellent experience
It was an experience, that you will never forget, how it would have been during the war, with no light, food and much air and space. If you are able it is definitely worth going in the tunnel. It is not very long and a little bit of light and air. We will come back Cu Chi Tunnels again
