Can Tho City is the central metropolis of the Mekong Delta, where waterways, orchards, and urban rhythms converge to define the unique character of the Southwestern region. As of July 1, 2025, the city was formed through the merger of Can Tho City, Hau Giang Province, and Soc Trang Province, significantly expanding its geographical scope, landscapes, and local cultural values. From the Hau River, Can Tho River, islets, and canals to orchards, agricultural zones, residential areas, and wetland ecosystems, Can Tho offers a diverse transition between natural landscapes and human life. Modern urban spaces intertwine with rural areas, orchards, and communities rooted in agricultural production, creating multiple layers of space and cultural nuances. This diversity provides a cinematic backdrop system that can flexibly transition from contemporary urban settings to riverine rural landscapes, and from orchard environments to ecological vistas. With excellent connectivity via road, waterway, and air, Can Tho has the potential to serve feature films, television series, documentaries, reports, and commercials that aim to capture the iconic imagery of the Mekong Delta.
