Notes on Long Xuyen – a provincial capital in the Mekong Delta

Notes on Sa Dec – An overlooked city in the Mekong Delta
Sa Dec doesn’t rate highly on Mekong Delta itineraries, which is understandable if you’re pressed for time. But I think that Sa Dec is one of the underrated destinations of the Delta region.

Notes on Phan Rang–Thap Cham
Phan Rang–Thap Cham is the capital of Ninh Thuan Province in the South Central Coast region of Vietnam. It’s between Mui Ne and Nha Trang, though it doesn’t get anywhere near the number of visitors compared to those places.
