OVERVIEW:

An Giang is located west of the Mekong Delta between the Tien Giang and Hau Giang Rivers and shares a 95-km border with Cambodia. It is next to the Cuu Long River and consists of a few midland areas and low mountains.

The main ethnic groups found in the province are the Kinh, Khmer, Cham, and Hoa. The region is located in a monsoon tropical climate where the annual average temperature varies between 26 and 28°C. The two distinct seasons are the dry season, from December to April, and the rainy season, from May to November. Floods often occur from the middle of August to the middle of November.

An Giang is criss-crossed by many rivers and canals which make a convenient water transport system. The two tributaries of the Mekong river, the Tien and the Hau, run across the province. They deliver millions of cubic meters of alluvium annually to the region. As a result, the deposits have formed several islets which are extremely fertile and covered with lush green vegetation.

An Giang is the location where many relics belonging to the Oc Eo Civilization have been excavated. Many archaeologists have concluded that An Giang was the location of a bustling commercial sea port built with many major architectural projects which can be traced back to the first century. This conclusion has glorified the province as a one time economically and culturally prosperous locality.

An Giang has long been famous for its traditional occupation of mulberry growing, silkworm raising and silk weaving. Famous sites and attractions include An Giang Museum in Long Xuyen, Ba Sam Temple Festival at Sam Mountain in Chau Doc, and Cam Mountain in Binh Tien.

Long Xuyen Floating Market

While not as busy as other Mekong Delta floating markets, Long Xuyen Floating Market still bustles with boats and canoes clustered together for trade activities. The river echoes with laughter and voices, creating a unique atmosphere. The best time to visit this market is around 5.00 am, when you can watch the sunrise over the river. 

A special feature of this market is "cay beo" - long bamboo poles on which goods are displayed for sale. Each boat hangs different items on these poles – from veggies and fruits to everyday essentials. It is a simple yet charming way to showcase what's available for visitors to choose from.

Chau Doc Floating Village

Chau Doc Floating Village emerged in the 1960s, as families settled on the river. Initially, they relied on the river's water for fishing. From the 1970s onward, more families built houses on the river for fish farming due to its economic benefits.

Here, you will have a chance to see charming floating houses on the river. These houses have a unique design with pale wooden walls and simple-patterned roofs. Inside, they are fully furnished, resembling regular houses with kitchens, bedrooms, and living spaces. It is a captivating glimpse into a thriving village where homes rest gently on the water's surface.

Bung Binh Thien Lake

Bung Binh Thien, also known as the "heavenly lake", is a haven for diverse freshwater creatures. It helps control water for the Mekong River and attracts tourists who want to explore the upstream. Unlike regular lakes, Bung Binh Thien stands out as it stays clear all year. The lake is big and green, unlike the muddy water in nearby canals and rivers, even during floods, making it a natural sight to behold.

To admire this splendid lake, tourists can take a boat ride. Each boat can accommodate 4-10 people and costs 150,000-300,000 VND per person. The boat ride takes about 40 minutes. On the boat, you can admire the beauty of nature here, with fresh air, cool wind, blue water, and blooming flowers. The surrounding fishing boats also add to the laid-back vibes, reflecting the local riverine life.

Tra Su Cajuput Forest

Tra Su Cajuput Forest is a haven of thick cajuput trees and serene waterways within Vietnam's scenic Mekong Delta. As a shining example of the country's stunning natural splendor, the forest provides a peaceful retreat for those who cherish nature. 

Taking a leisurely stroll through Tra Su Cajuput Forest allows you to get a close look at its diverse wildlife. Here, you can completely immerse yourself in the peaceful atmosphere of the forest while observing the wide range of animals and plants that call it home. 

If you prefer a guided experience, you can take a boat tour along the forest's winding waterways, which reveal the tranquil beauty of the environment. During the journey, you can capture scenic views of the serene surroundings and even spot wildlife along the route.

The Seven Mountains

The Seven Mountains, also known as That Son, is a unique landscape of An Giang Vietnam. It is a mix of plains and mountains spread across four districts. These mountains were formed over time, creating an arc of almost 100 kilometers long. 

Historical records and surveys reveal that the entire region has around 37 mountains and hills that vary in size, with an average elevation ranging from 50 to 710 meters. However, seven mountains are especially important: Cam, Tuong, Dai, Dai Nam Gieng, Co To, Ong Ket, and Nuoc Mountain. 

During the past wars, these mountains served as a place for hiding and fighting. Vietnamese soldiers used to store weapons in the many caves here. The terrain played a crucial role in supporting the country's defense, especially with the help of local communities.

Tay An Pagoda

Tay An Pagoda, situated at the foot of Sam Mountain, was constructed during the 19th century. It has undergone various renovations since then. This pagoda stands out as a unique blend of Indian and Vietnamese architectural styles, the first of its kind in Vietnam. The pagoda's most striking feature is its trio of ancient buildings topped with onion-shaped roofs, adorned in a harmonious array of colors.

Following the Mahayana sect, Tay An Pagoda is home to an impressive collection of over 11,270 statues ranging in size. These statues, predominantly crafted from esteemed wood, not only reflect cultural values but also preserve the art of Vietnamese sculpture from the early 19th century.

Cham Village

Cham Village is a treasure trove of Islamic beliefs, with traditional stilt houses and the art of brocade weaving passed down through generations. A visit here offers more than just insights into the local people's material and spiritual life. It also provides you a chance to escape the bustle of city life and immerse yourself in the tranquility of a serene village.

The village boasts numerous mosques constructed by the local Islamic community. This place feels like a tranquil kingdom nestled in the heart of An Giang Vietnam. One of its remarkable landmarks is the Mubarak Mosque, a historical and cultural monument. This mosque is not just a place of worship; it is a repository of faith and memories. Preserving the cultural vibrancy of the Cham community, the mosque features unique architecture characterized by a round tower, an oval roof, and a tower base shaped like a crescent moon and a star.

The best time to visit An Giang is during its dry season, which falls between March and May. If you are interested in witnessing the picturesque duckweed carpet and the vibrant natural landscape of Tra Su Cajuput Forest during the floating season, consider planning your trip in October and November. From late November to early December, you can enjoy the sight of ripe rice fields during the harvest season in Ta Pa.
