A rural commune of Cao Lanh city, Dong Thap province, Hoa An is also a prominent tourist attraction not to be missed in the vast Mekong Delta, which is famous for its pretty handicraft villages and authentic countryside life of people in Southern Vietnam.
For Mekong River Cruises travelers, a boat excursion to Hoa An village is an excellent chance of experiencing typical daily life on the banks of the Mekong. There, you will find an untouched and tranquil community with colorful flower fields and friendly locals together making handmade craft with warm smiles and funny chit-chats. You can pay a visit to a local flower garden where you see many different kinds of flowers, and learn from the hosts how to grow and take care of them.

Enjoy a walk in the peaceful village with immense rice fields or stop by an orchard with tropical fruit trees, Hoa An is a fantastic place to visit in your Mekong exploration.
