Ben Tre province lies at the endstream of the world's 6th largest river - the Mekong River. The lower sections of the River's two main streams flowing through Viet Nam's territory- Tien and Hau Rivers - in turn have several smaller branches dissecting the land into three large islets called Bao, Minh and An Hoa Islets. This topographical formation has made Ben Tre the land of diverse ecological features, with salt- and saltish-water as well as fresh water fauna and flora. It has plenty of sea food resources along with abundunt fresh water products.
