Hồng Ngự

Hồng Ngự is a district-level town in Đồng Tháp Province located in the Mekong Delta region, consisting of several urban neighborhoods and rural areas. The town sits at low elevation surrounded by waterways and farmland that define its landscape.

The town gained its status as an independent administrative unit in 2008, marking a turning point in regional development. This administrative change opened new possibilities for trade and economic expansion in the delta region.

The annual Catfish Festival at Võ Nguyên Giáp Square draws residents and visitors to celebrate local food and the fishing traditions that define the region. The town's identity is closely tied to aquaculture and how this shapes daily rhythms.

The town is well connected by water and road networks that make moving around and transporting goods straightforward. Visitors should expect tropical heat and humidity, and using local transport helps you move through the town and explore the surrounding areas.

Farmers practice specialized breeding methods directly in Mekong waters, blending traditional techniques with modern approaches that have evolved over generations. This aquaculture shapes the water landscape visually and positions the region as a major producer in Vietnam's fishing industry.
