Experience Hau Giang Tours with sustainable adventures (Source: Internet)Following Vietnam’s administrative restructuring, Hau Giang and Soc Trang provinces have merged into Can Tho City, with Can Tho as the administrative center. District-level units are now wards or communes, improving access to Hau Giang through sustainable infrastructure like cycling paths, electric boat networks, and a VND500 billion flood control project. This enhances travel to Hau Giang’s cultural and natural hotspots.
Start your Hau Giang Travel with tranquil vistas (Source: Internet)Located 240 km southwest of Ho Chi Minh City and 1,900 km south of Hanoi, Hau Giang spans 1,609 km² of wetlands and canals. Bordered by Vinh Long, Bac Lieu, and Kien Giang, it features a tropical monsoon climate with a dry season (December–April, 25–34°C or 77–93.2°F) and a rainy season (May–November, 22–30°C or 71.6–86°F), with peak rainfall in August–October (100–400 mm). Its 2,300 km of canals and 60% wetland coverage make Hau Giang a haven for eco-tourism and cultural exploration.
The ideal time to visit is December to April, during the dry season, when warm, sunny weather (25–34°C or 77–93.2°F) supports boat tours, market visits, and outdoor adventures. This period aligns with events like the Khmer Ok Om Bok Festival (October–November), though it brings crowds and higher costs. The rainy season (May–November) offers cooler temperatures (22–30°C or 71.6–86°F) and 20–30% discounts, but heavy showers may disrupt plans. Check AccuWeather for May–October updates.
Tip: Book transport and tours 3–5 weeks in advance for December–April. March–April or October provide milder weather and fewer tourists.
