Why Visit 30 Thang 4 Park?

A Riverside Haven of Culture and Relaxation

30 Thang 4 Park, located along the Hau River in Chau Doc, An Giang Province, is a vibrant riverside destination that celebrates the region’s rich aquaculture heritage, symbolized by its iconic yellowtail catfish statue. Far surpassing its outdated image as a simple local park, it’s a lively hub for evening strolls, street food, and cultural festivities, offering a glimpse into Chau Doc’s community spirit. An Giang’s tropical monsoon climate (dry season: November–April, 24–32°C or 75.2–89.6°F; rainy season: May–October, 26–36°C or 78.8–96.8°F) creates a pleasant evening ambiance, with cool river breezes enhancing the experience. The merger of Kien Giang into An Giang Province, effective July 1, 2025, adds coastal destinations like Ha Tien (95 km from Chau Doc), making Chau Doc an ideal base for sustainable tourism. Recognized by Booking.com as a sustainable tourism destination, 30 Thang 4 Park attracts visitors for its authentic Mekong Delta charm and proximity to cultural sites.

Legend Travel Group, a sustainable tourism leader since 2008, offers eco-friendly tours to 30 Thang 4 Park, combining riverside experiences with cultural exploration using bicycles and electric boats to preserve the environment.

A Symbol of Chau Doc’s Aquaculture Legacy

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.

Cultural and Historical Significance

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.
