An Giang
An Giang Province's economy thrives on the seabass fish besides tourism. Like Soc Trang, An Giang is characterized by the co-habitation of the Vietnamese, the Khmer and the Cham, which gives rise to the interestingly diverse culture and history.
Chau Doc
Chau Doc, An Giang's capital city, is most famous for Sam Mount Lady Festival, a religious figure celebrated by most Southerners by the virtue of her sanctity. Annually, from 23rd to 27th April in Lunar Year, thousands of people flock to Chau Doc to offer tribute to the Lady in exchange for granted wishes and good luck for their relatives, rendering it the biggest festival in the Mekong Delta Region. For this reason, a trip around Mekong Delta Region would be incomplete without a visit to Sam Mount Lady’ Temple, a construction which is surrounded by myths and a tourist attraction in its own right.
