Vinh
Long travel guide
The small and roughly
oblong-shaped province of Vinh Long sits on a long drawn-out
Delta island, with the Tien Giang (Mekong) River running along
its northern border and the Hau Giang (Bassac) River running to
its south. Tra Vinh sits to the east, serving as buffer to the
South China Sea and Sa Dec borders to the west.
Best known for the floating market at Cai Be (which is actually
in Tien Giang province, but covered here as it is most often
visited from Vinh Long) and the Mekong Delta homestays that can
organised from here, Vinh Long province sees a trickle of
travellers passing through, but only a fraction choose to stay
overnight at the same-named provincial capital.
Lush and heavily cultivated with both rice and fruit orchards,
the province is criss-crossed with canals and tributaries all
flowing into the teeming rivers that form its borders and while
most who do choose to stay here venture no further than across
the river, those with the time (or their own transport) getting
out into the surrounding countryside (if even just for a hour by
hired motorbike), is well worthwhile.
