Photograph the festive allure of An Giang’s heritage (Source: Internet)Located on the Hau River embankment, 30 Thang 4 Park is a tribute to Chau Doc’s history as a leading yellowtail catfish (basa) production hub in Vietnam, with its prominent catfish statue symbolizing local pride. Spanning a compact area with palm trees, colorful flower beds, and eco-friendly benches, the park is a community gathering spot, especially during festive seasons like Tet (Lunar New Year), when it hosts vibrant flower markets. Its proximity to Chau Doc Market and the river makes it ideal for evening relaxation, with street vendors offering local delicacies and children’s toys adding a lively vibe. The park’s sustainable design, supported by An Giang’s eco-tourism initiatives under the One Commune One Product (OCOP) program, ensures a clean, green environment, attracting over 100–300 daily visitors for strolls and social activities.
The yellowtail catfish statue commemorates Chau Doc’s role in Vietnam’s aquaculture industry, which produces millions of tons of basa fish annually, a key economic driver in the Mekong Delta. The park’s location along the Hau River ties it to the region’s river-based culture, with nearby floating fish farms showcasing sustainable livelihoods. During Tet, the park transforms into a flower market, reflecting Vietnamese traditions of renewal and prosperity, making it a cultural focal point for both locals and tourists.
