Sam mountain & temples
A cone-shaped mountain rising from the delta, crowned with pagodas and prayer halls — the spiritual heart of the region, climbed by thousands of pilgrims each year.
关于An Giang
An Giang is where the delta meets the mountains — Châu Đốc sits at the river mouth under the shadow of Sam mountain, with its temple complex and pilgrimage traffic. Inland, the Trà Sư cajuput forest opens into flooded plains, and the Thất Sơn (Seven Mountains) rise as mystical landmarks.
Since the merger, Phú Quốc island — once a world away — is now part of An Giang. Its beaches are the clearest on the delta coast, its fish sauce and pepper plantations are working heritage, and the island's quietness is in sharp contrast to the river-bound bustle of the mainland. Hà Tiên and Rạch Giá add coastal character, while U Minh Thượng swamps echo with migrant birds.
An Giang精选体验
Trà Sư cajuput forest
A flooded forest of tall tràm trees — boat glides through cathedral-like avenues of wood, with swallows wheeling overhead at sunset.
Thất Sơn (Seven Mountains)
A range of granite and limestone hills emerging from the flat delta — sacred and dramatic, marking the border with Campuchia.
Châu Đốc riverside markets
A multi-ethnic market town — fish auctions, floating markets and the Hậu River's commercial heartbeat.
Floating houses (nhà nổi)
Wooden houses that rise and fall with the river — home to fishing families and a way of life unchanged for generations.
Phú Quốc island
The jewel of the expanded province — Sao and Khem beaches (the clearest sand on the delta coast), Long Beach's curve, fish-sauce and pepper farms that define the island's economy, and a refreshing quiet.
吃什么
Bún cá Châu Đốc
Fish and prawn noodle soup — the Châu Đốc version has a clear, light broth and is eaten at breakfast.
Mắm Châu Đốc
Fish sauce from the local fishing tradition — used as dip, broth base and the soul of delta cooking.
Gỏi sầu đâu
Pomelo salad with shrimp and pork — fresh, tart and the delta's most refreshing summer dish.
Phú Quốc pepper & fish sauce
Pepper vines climb through the island's red soil; fish sauce pools soak under the sun. Both are sold fresh and are the island's flavour.

When do pilgrims climb Sam mountain?
Lunar New Year is peak season; the trail is crowded but spiritual. Any quiet weekend also works — the temples are open year-round.

The main hike takes ~1.5–2 hours to the summit. Shorter cuts connect the main temples; the walk is steep in parts.
Is Phú Quốc a day trip from the mainland?
Not really — it deserves at least one night to explore the beaches and pepper farms. Fast boat takes ~1h from Rạch Giá or Hà Tiên.
Can I visit fish-sauce and pepper farms?
Yes — many family operations welcome visitors. Tour guides can arrange stops; ask locals for recommendations.
