Kiên Giang, Province in Mekong Delta, Vietnam

Kiên Giang extends across 6,346 square kilometers of land, containing 105 islands and a 200-kilometer coastline along the Gulf of Thailand.

The region transformed from twelve administrative divisions under Lord Nguyễn Phúc Khoát in 1774 to its current provincial status through mergers of Hà Tiên and Rạch Giá territories.

The province incorporates Vietnamese, Khmer, and Hoa communities, each maintaining their traditions while contributing to rice cultivation and fishing practices.

Three airports in Rạch Giá, Phú Quốc, and Hà Tiên connect the province to Ho Chi Minh City, with additional hydrofoil services linking coastal destinations.

The provincial waters contain numerous fish species supporting the production of Phú Quốc fish sauce, while U Minh Forest preserves natural mangrove ecosystems.
