The colorful floating village in An Giang is located at the confluence of Chau Doc River.

The project is over 1km long with 165 floating rafts that people use to raise fish, covered with paint with the main colors of red - orange - yellow - green - blue and purple. The total cost of phase 1 is nearly 2.7 billion VND.

Chau Doc floating fish village is a freshwater fish farming village that was formed in the 60s of the last century. At first, there were only a few floating fish farms raising fish naturally, without feeding them because of the good water source.

The highlight of the raft village is the monochromatic colors of red - orange - yellow - green - blue and purple.

However, from the 1970s onwards, due to the high economic benefits, the number of fish rafts increased significantly and gradually became the economic focus of An Giang.

The golden age was from 1990 to 2005, Chau Phu, Phu Tan, Cho Moi, Vinh Nguon areas had over 2,000 fish rafts with an average annual harvest of over 20,000 tons/year.

Most of the fish raised in floating rafts in the regions are catfish breeds such as tra and basa, mainly for export to Western European and North American markets.

Currently, fish farming on rafts is still maintained by the people, while combining tourism development to create a highlight to attract visitors to the river region of the West, including An Giang province.

Mr. Le Trung Hieu, Director of the An Giang Trade and Investment Promotion Center, said that the formation of a colorful raft village to develop tourism received high consensus from people raising fish on rafts.

From here, create new community tourism products for people to develop the economy associated with traditional craft villages in the Bay Nui region - An Giang.
