Long An is located to the north of the Mekong Delta, west and southwest of Ho Chi Minh City. The province shares a border with Cambodia.
Overview
Long An is part of the famed region of Dong Thap Muoi which is dubbed as the land of lotus flowers in Vietnam. The provincial capital of Long An is Tan An City.
Long An is a low-key tourist attraction compared to nearby famed ones in the Mekong Delta: My Tho, Vinh Long, Can Tho, Chau Doc… But as places get crowded, travelers find alternatives and Long An is for certain not a bad choice at all.
