Through the efforts of the three localities before the merger, cultural resources and assets have been inherited and promoted in a diverse and abundant manner. This is a cultural resource strong enough and of sufficient stature for Can Tho culture to be worthy of the center and driving force of the Mekong Delta region, contributing to integration and promoting the development of cultural industry in the coming time. From there, Can Tho culture will contribute to the overall development of the city, the core of which is to improve people's lives.
