Ninh Kieu Wharf

Ninh Kieu Wharf is a historic riverside wharf and public park in Ninh Kieu District, Can Tho City, at the confluence of the Hau and Can Tho Rivers. Developed during the French colonial period and now a symbol of Can Tho, it features a landscaped promenade, gardens, a Ho Chi Minh statue, and river views. It serves as a departure point for boat tours to floating markets and is a central gathering place for locals and visitors.

Visitors can expect an open riverside park and paved promenade along the Hau River with landscaped gardens, walkways, benches, and a statue of Ho Chi Minh. The wharf offers panoramic river views, views of Can Tho Bridge in the distance, and a busy pier area where tourist boats and dinner cruise boats depart. The area includes the Ninh Kieu Night Market nearby, food stalls, and illuminated scenery at night. It is a flat, walkable area suitable for strolling, sightseeing and photography.

Originally developed as a river wharf during the French colonial period in the late 19th century, Ninh Kieu Wharf served as a commercial port and ferry terminal on the Hau River. It was later landscaped into a public park in the 20th century and has become an emblematic landmark of Can Tho City.

Considered the symbol of Can Tho and the Mekong Delta river culture, the wharf is a central social and tourism hub where locals gather, festivals are held, and visitors experience the river-based lifestyle. It represents the connection between the city and the Hau River and is a gateway to floating market culture.
