Long Xuyen Travel Guide
The capital of the An Giang Province is hailed as southwestern Vietnam's second most prosperous city but in reality is really just a sleepy little town with a handful of interesting sights.
- Worth It?
- Give it a miss unless you're touring on a very generous time scale.
- What to Do
- relax and enjoy the distinct lack of western faces, visit the market, take a boat trip along the river.
- Best Time to Go
- the Mekong Delta region see its most favorable weather between December and April.
- How Long?
- One day is long enough to see all of the sights
Long Xuyen is located reasonably close to the larger and better known city of Chau Doc, making it a semi-worthy deviation for anyone looking to kill a bit of time before embarking on a long journey to one of the country's more established tourist destinations.
A fairly impressive cathedral and some colonial architectural remain and a bustling local market is among the sights to see on a wander of the town. Beyond that there isn't a great deal in the way of attractions, so this is a place suited to an overnight stop at the most.
