What activities to do in An Giang? (Source: Internet)An Giang Province, nestled between the Tien and Hau Rivers in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, offers a rich tapestry of cultural, natural, and culinary experiences, making it a must-visit destination. Far surpassing its outdated image as a niche travel spot, An Giang, centered around Chau Doc and Long Xuyen, boasts unique attractions like thốt nốt (sugar palm) trails, vibrant festivals, and biodiverse wetlands. The province’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) enhances its lush landscapes, ideal for eco-tourism. The merger of Kien Giang into An Giang Province, effective July 1, 2025, adds coastal gems like Ha Tien (95 km from Chau Doc), boosting connectivity. Recognized by Booking.com as a sustainable tourism destination, An Giang attracts over 10 million visitors annually for its authentic experiences and warm hospitality.
