After a period of experimental exploitation, An Giang province officially introduced the colorful floating village tourism product at the confluence of the Chau Doc rivers.
On January 18, the An Giang Province Promotion, Trade, and Investment Center, in collaboration with tourism companies in Ho Chi Minh City, organized the launch ceremony for the colorful floating village tourism product at the Chau Doc river junction to diversify the province’s tourism offerings.

Mr. Le Trung Hieu, Director of the An Giang Promotion, Trade, and Investment Center, stated that the project “Colorful Floating Village at the Chau Doc River Junction” was put into trial operation at the end of December 2023. The distinctive feature of Chau Doc’s floating village is the houses built on fish cages forming a “village” along the river, extending approximately 4 km.
Visitors to the floating village can experience the daily life of the local people, observe how they cultivate aquatic products in the fish cages, and immerse themselves in the riverine environment. Recognizing the tourism potential of the floating village, the local authorities painted all 161 fish farming cages in six colors: red, yellow, orange, green, blue, and purple, creating a uniquely picturesque scene.
