In the coming years, many of the ferry boats that have long been a lifeline in the downtowns of the Mekong Delta will gradually disappear. They will be replaced by massive, modern bridges that stretch across the wide rivers, connecting towns and provinces more efficiently than ever before.
While this transformation will greatly improve transportation and economic growth, it also means the fading of a traditional way of life that has defined the Delta for generations. For travelers, the remaining ferry crossings are a chance to experience the region’s authentic charm before they become part of history.
