Long XuyenLong Xuyên
Half a day covers the walkable centre; sleep one night only if you want a quiet base before going deeper into An Giang.
Long Xuyen is the capital of An Giang Province in the Mekong Delta. The centre is small and walkable, with cheap fan-room hotels and local eateries. It works as a stop between Ho Chi Minh City and Can Tho, or as a base for the province's mountains and river islands.
