Bến Tre Province

Bến Tre Province (Vietnamese: Tỉnh Bến Tre) is a province of Vietnam. It is located in the Mekong Delta region and is bordered by the provinces of Tiền Giang to the north, and Vĩnh Long and Trà Vinh to the southwest.

Its capital and largest city is Bến Tre, located in the centre of the province. The province is unique in that it is technically an island province, seperated from the mainland by branches of the Mekong Delta.

Geography
Like most provinces in the Mekong Delta, the province is almost completely flat. The province is made up of 2 riverine islands.

Transport
The Cần Thơ Railway passes through the northwest of the province, but does not pass through Bến Tre city itself.

Ferries are used to access smaller islands in the river and to travel around the delta.
