About Long Xuyen

Long Xuyen is a major Mekong Delta city on the Hau River, known for its floating market, river islands, basa fish, and grounded local feel. It is less touristy than Can Tho and works well as a base for An Giang food, markets, and trips toward Chau Doc or Tri Ton.

💡Why Visit?

Visit for a quieter floating market, excellent fish noodle soup, and everyday Mekong Delta river life.
