An Bình island homestays
Sleep on a delta island among the canals — wake to birdsong, take a morning boat to the floating market, then watch sunset from your porch over the water.
關於Vĩnh Long
Vĩnh Long sits at the heart of the delta's most intimate water world — not a city but a labyrinth of narrow canals, fruit-heavy islands and homestay villages where the rhythm of life is the rhythm of the river.
The old Bến Tre coconut kingdom runs through it all — waterways draped in coconut palms, coconut candy workshops, and boat trips under arching green fronds. Trà Vinh's Khmer temples add architecture and calm to the waterscape.
Vĩnh Long精選體驗
Coconut kingdom waterways
Long-tail boats glide under groves of coconut palms — a timeless delta scene, with stops at candy workshops where coconut jam still simmers on old stoves.
Xuồng boat rides
Narrow wooden boats propelled by pole or oar through even narrower canals — the delta's slowest, most intimate transport.
Khmer pagodas in old trees
Ancient temples from the Trà Vinh heritage — tall spires rising from groves centuries old, their calm a counterpoint to the water bustle.
Ba Om pond
A legendary pool in Trà Vinh, clear and still amid the greenery — said to hold the echo of ancient songs.
Orchards & fruit season
When longan, mangosteen and custard apple ripen, homestays open their gardens — eat fresh fruit at the branch, stay through the afternoon.
吃什麼
Kẹo dừa
Coconut candy — chewy, golden and still warm from the copper pot in many Delta workshops.
Cá tai tượng chiên xù
Crispy fried elephant-ear fish — a river delicacy, served whole with salt and lime.
Coconut milk desserts
Chilled coconut broth with tapioca pearls, lotus seeds and fruit — the delta's cooling answer to the heat.
Bánh pía & local sweets
Beyond bánh pía, try lạc khô (roasted peanuts) and bánh kém tây (western-style pastries with coconut filling).
