About Vi Thanh

Vị Thanh is the peaceful capital of Hậu Giang Province, situated along the Xa No Canal in the heart of the Mekong Delta. The city is famous for its vast, scenic fields of Cau Duc pineapples and the bustling, rustic Vi Thanh morning market (where sellers gather on the ground with their fresh agricultural produce). It is a highly offbeat, tourist-free destination offering raw delta authenticity.

💡Why Visit?

Wander through the giant Cau Duc pineapple fields and experience the vibrant Vi Thanh morning street market.

Travel Tips

  • The Vi Thanh morning market (Cho Chom Hom) starts extremely early. Walk there around 5:30 AM to see hundreds of farmers sitting on the street displaying colorful fruits and vegetables.
  • Try the local Cha Ca That Lat (featherback fish cake); it is incredibly springy and savory.
