Búng Bình Thiên Lake
Búng Bình Thiên, the largest natural freshwater lake in the Mekong Delta, is a peaceful border-district lake in An Giang known for its year-round clear water, a striking two-toned confluence at C3 bridge, surrounding Cham Muslim villages, and a flood-season lotus bloom - a quiet cultural and nature stop for travellers who don't need a dramatic 'wow' view to feel it was worth the trip.
Ta Pa Fields
Ta Pa Fields, at the base of Tà Pạ and Cô Tô mountains in Tri Tôn district, An Giang, are a patchwork of terraced rice paddies at different growth stages - a result of the local communal 'vần công' farming custom - considered one of the Mekong Delta's most distinctive rice landscapes, especially during the July-November harvest season.
Ta Pa Temple
Ta Pa Temple (Chùa Tà Pạ), also called Chùa Núi or Chưn Num, is a Khmer Theravada Buddhist temple on Tà Pạ hill in An Giang's Thất Sơn region, built on tall concrete pillars that make it appear to float above the ground. Reached by a 240-step staircase, it overlooks the Ta Pa rice fields and turquoise Ta Pa Lake below, and is worth visiting first in the cluster before the crowds and heat build up.
Trà Sư Cajuput Forest
Trà Sư Cajuput Forest is an 845-hectare flooded cajuput woodland in An Giang - navigated by rowboat through mirror-flat green waterways, with over 70 bird species, a 10km bamboo walkway through the forest, and an observation tower over the canopy. Best September to November.
Vĩnh Trung Fields
Vĩnh Trung Fields, in Tịnh Biên district beneath the Thất Sơn mountains, is home to An Giang's most photographed thốt nốt (sugar palm) row, standing behind the Khmer pagoda Sà-Đách-Tót - best seen at dawn during flood season when the fields mirror the trees.
