Located in Vinh Long Province, Vinh Sang Tourism Area is considered “a miniature of the Cuu Long River Delta” with many tourist services being closely related to the simple life of locals in the western watery region in South Vietnam.
From the centre of Vinh Long City, it takes tourists about 10 minutes to travel by ferry then tourists can take a stroll on concrete roads shaded by a green canopy of a variety of fruit trees to Vinh Sang Tourism Area. It is also an interesting experience for tourists to travel to the tourism area by a boat hired from tourism companies or private boats at An Binh Ferry Landing. The trip promises to bring tourists amazing feeling by the beauty of the calm Co Chien River and the peaceful landscape on its banks.
Vinh Sang Tourism Area was built in a total area of 2.2ha in 2005 with the aim of exploding the region’s tourism potential and serving as an eco-environment for educational purposes. It was planned in a triangle with the first side along the Co Chien River’s bank, opposite Vinh Long City, the second facing the north where the My Thuan Bridge goes over the Tien River, and the last connecting with orchards on An Binh Isle.
