There is a peaceful Chau Doc!

Those familiar with Chau Doc will be delighted by the changes taking place here. Currently, Chau Doc ward is receiving comprehensive investment in urban and transportation infrastructure, aiming to enhance its role as a tourism and border trade economic center of An Giang province.

In Chau Doc, there's a hint of the romantic and peaceful charm of a city in the Mekong Delta. From Chau Doc Park, you can gaze towards Con Tien Bridge to admire the picturesque river scenery, with the Chau Doc agricultural market alongside the rustic boats of the riverside residents.

When visiting Chau Doc, you can't miss the Pangasius and Basa Fish Monument, a symbol of the prosperity of Chau Doc's fish farming industry during its "golden age". After all these years, the monument still stands majestically at the Chau Doc river confluence, becoming a unique highlight in the peaceful scenery of this place.

Alongside modern architectural houses, Chau Doc still retains many centuries-old streets. They are rustic, simple, and quiet amidst the bustling and noisy city life.

These old streets seem to preserve the appearance of old Chau Doc amidst the flow of modern life, allowing people to fully appreciate the development of this land.

Throughout its development, Chau Doc has been inseparable from the presence of the Chinese community. In the Chau Doc market area, the Quan De Temple is the center of religious belief for the Chinese community for many generations. The Kinh people also frequently come here to worship.

The structure boasts unique and beautiful architecture, attracting visitors year-round. Many young people also come here to take photos, preserving their youthful memories with the beauty of this landmark.

Most impressive is Bodh Gaya, associated with the story of the "precious Bodhi tree" originating from Bodh Gaya in India. This Buddhist structure, built in 1952, is a place of sacred faith for the people of Chau Doc.

The Bodhi tree, a "precious tree," was gifted to the Vietnam Theosophical Society in 1950 by His Holiness Jinara Jadasa, President of the International Theosophical Society in India. Legend says it is a part of the Bodhi tree where Buddha Shakyamuni meditated. Despite many ups and downs, the tree remains lush and provides shade.

With its existing potential, Chau Doc is on its way to developing into an economic driving force of An Giang province. This region also boasts destinations with unique and enchanting beauty, well worth a visit!
