An Giang

An Giang is a riverside province in Vietnam's Mekong Delta, stretching along the Hau River to the Cambodian border. Its landscape of rice fields, canals and flooded forests, together with Kinh, Khmer and Cham communities, gives the province a distinctive Mekong character centred on the cities of Long Xuyên and Châu Đốc.

Châu Đốc is the spiritual heart of An Giang, dominated by Sam Mountain. Pilgrims climb to Ba Chua Xu Temple and visit Tay An Pagoda and the tomb of Thoai Ngoc Hau, especially during the spring Ba Chua Xu Festival, one of the largest religious events in the delta.

Long Xuyên, the provincial capital, offers a quieter riverside experience with its early-morning floating market, riverfront life and busy markets. Further out, Tri Ton and Tinh Bien districts hold Tra Su Cajuput Forest, Cam Mountain, Khmer pagodas and the floating villages and fish farms of the Châu Đốc area.

An Giang is a major centre for rice, aquaculture and agro-processing, known for basa catfish farming and fermented fish products such as mắm. Local food includes bún cá Châu Đốc, bánh xèo, grilled fish and palmyra thốt nốt sugar, with lively markets across Long Xuyên and Châu Đốc.

Its mix of pilgrimage, Mekong river experiences, nature and cross-border trade along National Highway 91 makes An Giang relevant for both leisure travellers and business visitors working in agriculture, logistics and regional commerce.
