The Mekong Delta is divided into 9 provinces: Long
An, Tien Giang, Ben Tre, Dong Thap, An Giang, Vinh Long,
Kien Giang, Hau Giang and Minh Hai. The people in this
region are made up of Vietnamese and some people of
Khmer, Chinese and Cham origin. This accounts for the
variety of religions that add to the cultural diversity
of this area. Among the religions practiced here are:
Buddhism, Catholicism, Cao Dai, Hoa Hao and Islam. |
