Vĩnh Châu, District-level town in Sóc Trăng Province, Vietnam.
Vĩnh Châu is a district-level town in Sóc Trăng Province located in the Mekong Delta, with urban wards and surrounding rural communes forming its main settlements. The administrative core centers on Ward 1, while the broader area includes residential neighborhoods and agricultural zones spread across the region.
The town received its official designation as a district-level city in 2011, marking a major turning point in its administrative development. This change reflected the area's growth and enabled improved governance structures for the expanding population.
Local residents practice various religious traditions visible in the temples and shrines scattered throughout the town. These spaces serve as gathering points where people celebrate festivals and maintain their spiritual customs together.
Most services and main attractions are concentrated in Ward 1, which has the best-developed infrastructure. Visitors should know that rural areas outside the urban core have fewer facilities, so having your own transport is helpful for exploring the broader region.
The coastal position supports an economy built mainly on fishing and aquaculture operations that shape daily life. These activities are everywhere and give the days a rhythm tied to tides and seasons.
