Châu Thành, Rural district in An Giang Province, Vietnam.
Châu Thành is a rural district in An Giang Province located in the Mekong Delta, characterized by flat land crisscrossed by the Hậu River and its tributaries. The district spreads across smaller settlements and hamlets linked by roads and waterways, with the town of An Châu serving as the main hub.
The district was formed in 1979 when an administrative area was divided into two separate districts. Since then, the area has developed into a major agricultural center for the broader delta region.
The district is home to several ethnic communities—Vietnamese, Khmer Krom, Cham, and Hoa—whose daily practices and beliefs shape local life. You can observe these traditions in local rituals, homes, and community celebrations throughout the hamlets.
The best time to visit is outside the monsoon months, when roads and waterways are easily accessible. Local boats and motorcycles are popular ways to navigate between the scattered villages and fields.
The area is shaped by a dense network of canals and waterways that shape the landscape and daily life more than roads do. Many villages rely on water for transport, creating a unique relationship between people and rivers.
