Bến Ninh Kiều is one of the most familiar symbols of Cần Thơ City, closely associated with the gentle riverscape and the riverside urban rhythm of Tây Đô. The wharf lies beside the Hậu River, in the city center, where people, boats, markets, and tourism activities come together in an open and breezy space. According to the Cần Thơ Tourism Portal, Bến Ninh Kiều is also known as Ninh Kiều Park. It was formed in the 19th century and is located at the confluence of the Hậu River and the Cần Thơ River, along Hai Bà Trưng Street.

The charm of Bến Ninh Kiều does not come from grandeur, but from the distinct feeling of the river region. During the day, visitors can stroll under the trees, admire the wide river surface, watch tourist boats anchored along the wharf, and feel the relaxed pace of life in Cần Thơ. From this area, visitors can also easily connect to nearby attractions such as the pedestrian bridge, Ông Pagoda, Cần Thơ Old Market, and Ninh Kiều Walking Street on weekends.

When night falls, Bến Ninh Kiều takes on another beauty. Lights from restaurants, cruise boats, the pedestrian bridge, and riverside streets reflect on the water, creating a scene that is both lively and poetic. This is when many visitors choose to walk, take photos, enjoy local food, or board a cruise to admire Cần Thơ at night.

More than just a place for sightseeing, Bến Ninh Kiều also preserves the memory of the trading life of Cần Thơ. From an old riverside wharf once bustling with commerce, Ninh Kiều gradually became a representative cultural and tourism space of the city. A trip to Cần Thơ would feel incomplete without a stop at Bến Ninh Kiều, where visitors can fully sense the beauty of the Mekong Delta’s “white rice and clear water.”
