Thanh Pho Can Tho is a really beautiful city. If you want to know what Saigon was like just 3-4 years ago, just come to Can Tho. The development is not as fast as in Ho Chi Minh city but it is beginning to increase. With the new bridge nearly completed, Can Tho will most likely develop at a higher rate.
