It is in the vicinity of Sóc Trăng, 1½ hours fromLong Xuyen, 3 hours fromChâu Đốc, andRạch Giá, about 6 hours from Cà Mau, and 169km (3 hours) fromHo Chi Minh City. Can Tho is the biggest city in the Mekong Delta. Although it has been developing fast, it retains its charm as the center of a rural area, as urban development is taking place in a rather orderly manner. Can Tho has a reputation for being a welcoming place, where everybody is smiling and welcoming. Indeed the Vietnamese in the Mekong Delta have a saying that goes: "Cần Thơ gạo trắng nước trongAi đi tới đó lòng không muốn về""Cần Thơ, white rice, clear waters,All who come wish never to leave." The climate is tropical and monsoonal with two seas
