Long An
Perched on a platform roughly 30 kilometers off Ho Chi Minh City, Long An is a mid-sized province of the Mekong Delta region. It is typically characterized by its shared northeast and southwest border with Tay Ninh Province, Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Thap, Tien Giang respectively.
Its total area takes up to 1.4 million people, mostly half of them are laborers. It is also home to both King and Chinese people communities. Beyond 12 districts, Tan An is the province’s capital within driving distance heading to Ho Chi Minh City. For an experience truly detached from the modern world and the hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh’s lively life, travelers are advised to consider a stay at Tan An.
As far as weather types are considered, Long An is described as the monsoon tropical weather, clearly distinguished with two distinct seasons: the dry season lasting from December to April next year and the rainy season between May to November. It will never be a bad time to head to south Vietnam in general and Long An particularly in the dry season.
Traveling to several Long An’s to-do destinations such as Binh Ta Vestiges, Nguyen Huynh Duc Temple and Tomb, Rach Cat military base, Long An museum, or Tan Thanh Pagoda, might consume most of your days.
