The name means 'new market', and its vibrant riverside market is the heart of local commerce, where you can sample tropical fruits, fresh river fish, and traditional bánh xèo. The landscape is a patchwork of emerald rice paddies, coconut groves, and winding canals. Visitors can explore the floating fish farms on the Hậu River, cycle through quiet village lanes, or visit the ancient Óc Eo archaeological sites nearby. The pace is slow, the people welcoming, and the sunsets over the water are unforgettable. It's an ideal destination for travellers seeking authentic rural Vietnamese culture, homestay experiences, and peaceful boat trips.",[10,13,16],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","113",{"key":14,"value":15},"Ambulance","115",{"key":17,"value":18},"Fire","114",[20,23,26,29,32,35,38,41],{"key":21,"value":22},"Do I need a visa?","Most nationalities need a visa for Vietnam.
