Visit Chau Doc during the flood season.

As usual, from around August to November, the high tides pour into the Mekong Delta, bringing with them shrimp, fish, and silt... to a vast area that the locals eagerly await and affectionately call "the flood season."

Chau Doc – An Giang is a destination that embodies the unique characteristics of the flood season, captivating any visitor with the changes in nature and the lives of the local people during this time. Besides bringing abundant natural resources, the flood season also paints a picturesque picture that captures the hearts of those who love the vastness of rivers and waterways. Take a boat trip into the Tra Su Melaleuca Forest to discover a green oasis home to thousands of birds, or visit the endless flooded fields where rows of palm trees peek out, creating a strangely charming scene.

While exploring Chau Doc during the flood season, don't forget to enjoy delicious dishes made from the produce of the floodwaters and cheer on the unique bull racing festivals held after the harvest.

Visitors can also capture the scenery of the vast flooded fields, the "dance" of fishermen casting their nets to catch fish, or the sight of locals climbing palm trees to harvest the fruit.
