IV Corps
Some say it is the most beautiful part of the country with its vast delta areas of the Mekong and Bassac rivers. Traveling around is an adventure in itself especially when following the smaller roads. Tiny bridges over canals, driving through fruit farms and sometimes even take a boat to get you to your destination. There is a lot to discover when it comes to war remains. Plenty of former bases, larger and also smaller SF bases close to the Cambodian border and down to the former VC stronghold of the U Minh forest in the southernmost parts.
