Chau Doc City (An Giang Province) is located at the confluence of three rivers - where the Chau Doc River meets the Hau River. Every year, the flood season not only provides fertile alluvium and many rich products, but also gives this river city a very different beauty.
Therefore, the flood season has long become a "brand" attracting tourists from near and far.

The flood season brings An Giang an impressive landscape. The water does not pour down in torrents like a flood, but rises slowly every day, gradually filling the rivers, canals, lakes, etc. The once lush green fields are now submerged in a sea of white water, in the distance is the magical That Son range in the sunlight. The entire vast land seems to be wearing a new coat, rustic yet charming.
Every flood season, the people of the West are blessed by nature with many rich products, bringing economic benefits and culinary values. In the water from upstream, red alluvium is carried along, countless fish and shrimp flock to, such as linh fish, snakehead fish, perch, and striped fish... Not only seafood, the flood season also brings other famous fruits and vegetables such as dien dien flowers, lotus flowers, rau nhut, canarium fruit...

After nearly a year of farming, the flood season is the time when the land rests, washes away toxins and provides new alluvium. Therefore, during this season, farmers change their livelihood activities, instead of farming, they switch to exploiting the abundant resources from rivers. Netting, net fishing, casting nets… are simple fishing methods, familiar to people in the West, suitable for small households.
Not only can you take a boat along Vinh Te canal and the fields during the flood season, you can also visit the Sac Mau floating village at the Chau Doc river junction - a very attractive place recently. In addition, along the Chau Doc river, Victoria Chau Doc hotel is an ideal space where you can see the whole view of the flood season at the river junction.

Like a “promise” of nature, the annual flood season brings An Giang simple beauty, fresh products and many happy and sad emotions. It is not only the season of washing the fields, the season of profitable fishing, but also the season of memories. Although the flood season is now very different from the past, for those who were born and raised along the Mekong River, the flood season is always a part of their memories.
