Can-Tho, on the other hand, is a naturally thriving canal city, unlike other canal cities. With the harmony of the Mekong river, which is the most important factor in the formation of the canals, the city almost turns into an authentic poem with its geography. The people of Can-Tho, who keep up with this structure of the city and organize their lives accordingly, establish paddy fields, orchards, and coastal villages according to these canals. This natural life encountered at every step creates a visual feast for those who travel by boat. The main waterways that replace the streets and the streets that function as small streams create an organic texture in city planning.
