Châu Đốc, Provincial city in An Giang, Vietnam.

Located beside the Hau River, Châu Đốc extends across 105 square kilometers of the Mekong Delta region, featuring waterways and rice fields.

The territory became part of Vietnam in the 17th century and experienced a significant flood in 1938 that affected 125,000 hectares of agricultural land.

The Ba Chua Xu Temple attracts thousands of visitors during the annual Sam Mount Lady Ceremony, celebrated in April according to the lunar calendar.

The city connects to major destinations through boats and buses, with the dry season from December to March offering the most favorable conditions for travel.

Local floating houses built on stilts accommodate fishermen and their families, while markets operate directly from boats on the surrounding waterways.
