Local Attractions

• Long Xuyen Floating Market: Just a 10-minute drive from the hotel, this iconic Mekong Delta market lets you wander wooden boats heaped with fresh tropical fruit, local handicrafts, and homemade street food. Join a early morning boat tour to watch vendors trade goods from their vessels and sample freshly grilled coconut cake for breakfast.
• Ba Chua Xu Temple: Located 45 minutes from the hotel in Chau Doc, this revered mountain-top temple dedicated to the sacred Lady of the Region draws pilgrims and visitors alike for its stunning architecture and panoramic views of the surrounding Mekong floodplains.

Travel Tips

Book your airport transfer through the hotel’s front desk in advance to avoid inflated fares from local taxi stands. If you plan to visit the floating market or Tra Su Forest, book a guided tour through the hotel’s tour desk—they can arrange private transport and a local guide at a fair rate. Don’t miss trying the An Giang specialty *bun ca Long Xuyen* (Long Xuyen fish noodle soup) at the street stalls just a 5-minute walk from the hotel entrance. For drivers, confirm your free parking spot at the time of booking to guarantee a space during peak travel seasons.
