Ben Tre Travel Guide
Ben Tre Geography
The Rach Mieu Bridge linking Ben Tre Province and Tien Giang Province makes this Land of Coconut Forests much more accessible to the travelers from Saigon than before. Also, Co Chien Bridge linking Ben Tre and Tra Vinh makes it much more convenient to continue your adventure to other provinces in the Mekong Delta.
The terrain of Ben Tre is just flat and the land is dissected by several branches of the Tien River (Upper Branch of the Mekong River). Most of the province is covered by coconut forests. Getting around Ben Tre now by either waterway or by road is very easy nowadays.
Climate in Ben Tre
Ben Tre shares the same climate with other provinces in the Mekong River: the rainy season from May through October and it is the dry season from November through April. There are hardly typhoons in Ben Tre and the Mekong Delta.
