Travelers on Song Tien Restaurant Boat will have a chance to discover the unique beauty of Vinh Long and enjoy diverse foods
Vinh Long is located between the Tien and Hau rivers and likened to the Mekong Delta in miniature. It is the land of crisscross waterways, islets and orchards of four-season fruit trees. It is also famous for succulent fruits such as Nam Roi pomelo and Tam Binh thick-skinned orange, which are exported to many countries around the world.
In addition, Vinh Long is usually associated with An Binh Islet, Van Thanh Temple, Tien Chau and Phuoc Hau
pagodas, My Thuan Bridge and Vinh Sang Farm.
An Binh Islet amid the Tien River is a destination suitable for ecological tourism. Tourists can take a boat ride to discover orchards, enjoy don ca tai tu (southern amateur opera), taste local specialties, and join in home-stay to experience daily activities at local residents’ houses. This kind of tourism is favored by quite a few international tourists when they travel to this region.
Festivities in Vinh Long are fairly diverse, which enable tourists to take part in Ky Yen Festival, Chol Chnam Thmay (New Year) and Donta festivals of Khmer people.
