Ba Tri

Ba Tri extends over 351 square kilometers along the South China Sea, bordered by the Ba Lai River in the north and Hàm Luông River in the south.

The district holds the burial site of Nguyễn Đình Chiểu, a nineteenth-century poet who created influential anti-colonial works during the French presence in Vietnam.

Local festivals in Ba Tri showcase traditional performances, agricultural exhibitions, and food demonstrations centered around coconut cultivation and processing methods.

Visitors reach Ba Tri through regular bus connections from Ho Chi Minh City, with travel times averaging four hours during the recommended dry season from December to April.

The commune of Bảo Thạnh maintains the heritage of Phan Thanh Giản, the first southern Vietnamese to obtain a doctorate through imperial court examinations.
