An Binh Islet
Cù lao An Bình
An orchard island across the river from Vinh Long, laced with waterways. Cycle the rural lanes and stay in an orchard homestay for one of the most popular countryside experiences on the Mekong.
An Binh Islet lies in the Tien River, opposite Vinh Long city. Longan, rambutan and pomelo orchards and traditional wooden houses cover the island, and its narrow village lanes are ideal for cycling or riding a motorbike. Visitors can tour brick kilns, palm sugar and rice cracker workshops, stay overnight in a farm homestay, and learn to cook southern Vietnamese dishes. A ferry from the Vinh Long pier takes about 10 minutes to reach the island. From Can Tho, it is about an hour by car. The island pairs well with a visit to the floating market at Cai Be.
