Ben Tre.
I was born and grown up here.
Hard life but much happy memories

Quick Facts

Ben Tre (in Vietnamese, Bến Tre, Chinese: 檳椥) is a Province of Vietnam. It is one of the country’s southern provinces, being situated in the delta of the Mekong river. Politically, Bến Tre is divided into seven districts: Ba Tri, Bình Đại, Châu Thanh, Cho Lach, Giong Trom, Mo Cay, and Thanh Phu. The provincial capital, also known as Bến Tre, is a separate municipality.

Geography

Geographically, Bến Tre is wedged between the two main branches of the Tien Giang river, which is itself one of the two main branches of the Mekong. The province’s northern boundary is formed by the Tien Giang’s main course, while the province’s southern boundary is formed by the Tien Giang’s largest branch (which breaks away from the Tien Giang just upriver from Bến Tre province). Between the Tien Giang and its main branch are two smaller branches, passing through the middle of Ben Tre. The entire province is criss-crossed with a network of smaller rivers and canals. The extensive irrigation that this provides makes Bến Tre a major producer of rice, but also means that the area is prone to flooding. Bến Tre province is, on average, only 1.25 metres above sea level. Website: http://www.bentre.gov.vn
