About
Long An is a province in southern Vietnam, set within the Mekong Delta region. It lies in the Asian country's south, in Southeast Asia, and is best approached as a place to pass through and linger, rather than a single attraction to tick off.
What the province is known for
Long An is known for its agriculture and aquaculture, which shape much of its countryside and daily life. Visitors who enjoy seeing how the delta's land and water are worked will find the province a useful window into this part of Vietnam.
