Long Xuyên

Long Xuyen extends across both sides of the Hau Giang River, with neighborhoods connected through an extensive network of roads and water channels.

The settlement started in 1789 as a small outpost near Tam Khe canal, developing into a marketplace before receiving city status in 1999.

The city holds An Giang University, multiple Buddhist pagodas, Catholic churches, and the central marketplace where residents gather for daily commerce.

The city connects to Ho Chi Minh City through a 189-kilometer road network, with regular bus services operating between the two urban centers.

The Long Xuyen Floating Market operates daily on the Hau Giang River, where traders exchange fresh produce and goods directly from their wooden boats.
