An Giang is located in the southwestern area of the country, sharing a border with Cambodia to the northwest. Wedged between the Cambodian frontier, Kieng Giang and
Can Tho provinces to the south and Dong Thap province to the north, An
Giang is a particularly riverine province, with both the Bassac and
Mekong Rivers within its boundaries.
Long Xuyen, capital of An Giang, lies around 50km southeast of the border. Some travellers may find it convenient to pass through here for its transportation connections, with good food, accommodation, and foreign exchange banks.
Chau Doc, independent municipality, on the other hand has a degree of charm in its buildings, boasts excellent opportunities for short river trips and is home to the outlying site of Sam Mountain. Chau Doc has quite sizeable Chiseness, Cham, and Khmer communities, each of which has built distinctive temples worth visiting.

An Giang Administrative Zones
Politically, An Giang is divided into nine districts: An Phu, Chau Phu, Chau Thanh, Cho Moi, Phu Tan, Tan Chau, Thoai Son, Tinh Bien, and Tri Ton. The cities of Long Xuyen (the provincial capital) and Chau Doc, both of which are located on the Hau Giang branch of the Mekong, exist as independent municipalities.
An Giang Geography
An Giang occupies a position in the upper reaches of the Mekong Delta. The Hau Giang and Tien Giang branches of the Mekong are the dominant geographical features of the province. With the exception of the west, most of An Giang is fairly flat, and is criss-crossed by many canals and small rivers. This terrain has led to An Giang being a significant agricultural centre, producing significant quantities of rice. |
