The most colorful floating village in the Mekong Delta.
Chau Doc floating village (An Giang province), famous for its freshwater fish farming, has recently undergone a makeover, with the hope of becoming a unique new destination for tourists visiting the area.
On each fish raft, the owners both raise fish and live there like in a normal house on land. The fish rafts are located close together, stretching for about 4km.
To attract tourists, the An Giang Provincial Trade and Investment Promotion Center has implemented the "Colorful Floating Village at the Chau Doc River Junction" project, painting over 160 fish rafts in Da Phuoc town, An Phu district, with six colors (red, yellow, orange, green, blue, and purple).
Currently, over 50 fish farms have been given a "new look," initially creating a visually appealing effect. After the painting is complete, the project plans to encourage social participation in installing LED lights matching the painted colors, creating a unique and dazzling highlight at night.
The completed project promises to create a unique and distinctive landscape in the Mekong Delta, as the elevated location will present a vibrant tapestry of interwoven colors, creating a unique highlight at the river confluence viewed from multiple angles.
Visitors can travel by boat from Chau Doc or by car to Da Phuoc commune and then board a boat to visit the floating village, experience the life of the locals, and learn how they raise aquatic animals in cages.
Afterward, visitors can visit the Cham village, the Masjid Al-Ehsan mosque, observe the traditional Cham weaving craft, and experience life with the local people.
