Money River Travel Guide – Overview, Attractions & Visiting Timings

The Tiền River is a major distributary of the Mekong River in southern Vietnam’s Mekong Delta region, known locally as Sông Tiền or Tiền Giang.Originating from the main Mekong upstream in Cambodia, the Tiền River flows southeast through fertile rice paddies, orchards, and river towns before emptying into the South China Sea.It meanders past key economic and cultural hubs including Mỹ Tho and the province of Tiền Giang, offering vital waterways for local agriculture, floating markets, and boat transport.Along its course, the river branches into important channels such as the Cổ Chiên, Hàm Luông, and Ba Lai rivers, which support rich biodiversity and traditional river life. The Tiền River’s scenic routes and vibrant riverbank communities make it a popular destination for cultural tourism and river cruises in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta.
