Today I will introduce my hometown in Vietnam, Vinh Long city. Vinh Long is a small city, located in the South of Vietnam, Mekong Delta.. It takes about 3 hours of driving from Saigon to Vinh Long. It is a peaceful city with friendly people. People always go to Vinh Long to relax and enjoy the countryside lifestyle.
Vinh Long is famous for tropical fruits: rambutan, longan, mango, jack fruit and durian, however most of them are blooming in summer time only. There are many rivers across the city but two main large rivers are Co Chien and Hau Giang. These rivers fertile the land with rich alluvial soils. Therefore agriculture plays important role in economy.
There are some attractive places in Vinh Long such as: Văn Thánh Miếu Pagoda, a colorful 19th-century Chinese temple, Cái Bè floating market and villages and orchards on the river's many islets, including Bình Hòa Phước and An Binh. Boats are important transportation in Vinh Long.
Foods are simple with Southern style of cooking but they are delicious. My favorite dishes are from fresh water fishes.
You will find peace when you come to my hometown. I love it so much.
Hope you can come here one day.
