New Vinh Long, new experience
After the merger, Vinh Long brings a new experience, connecting the garden-class river scenery with the open sea, surprising and delighting many visitors.
Ms. Le Thanh Thao (HCMC) said that she had previously come to Vinh Long with her family a few times, but the experience was mainly limited to garden areas, visiting ancient houses, eating fruits.
During her recent trip to Vinh Long, she experienced sea views, eating seafood and exploring the pristine coastal area. The impressive thing is that the journey is very convenient. Just a few hours of travel, the landscape changed significantly, creating an interesting and un bored trip.
If the province continues to invest in more coastal stops and maintains the friendliness and rusticity of local people, I think Vinh Long will attract more visitors, Ms. Thao added.

Mr. Tran Minh Quan (Hanoi) was surprised when after a few hours of traveling, the landscape changed continuously - from the canal covered with coconut shade to the windy beach.
Vinh Long after the merger is more attractive thanks to its flexible journey and good services but still retains the Western rustic resources. The expanded space helps form more destinations, Mr. Quan added.
Vinh Long exploits new advantages, towards comprehensive tourism
Statistics from the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism (VHTT&DL) show that in the first 6 months of 2025, Vinh Long welcomed over 5.1 million visitors, including over 676,000 international visitors, with tourism revenue reaching over VND4,000 billion.
Speaking with Lao Dong, Mr. Lam Huu Phuc - Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism - said that after the merger, the province has more than 130km of coastline, opening up great opportunities for comprehensive tourism development, connecting the sea, garden and national cultural identity.

Vinh Long is orienting to build a "three in one" tourism product, combining garden-class rivers, unique Khmer culture and sea and island advantages. This is a difference compared to neighboring provinces, helping to increase competitiveness on the regional and national tourism map.
According to him, in addition to resort tourism, sea sports, mangrove exploration and fishermen's culture, the province also aims for sustainable development, linking tourism with environmental conservation and traditional values.
Sea tourism also creates a spreading force, promoting the development of accommodation, cuisine, transportation, handicrafts, creating more jobs and motivation for infrastructure upgrades.
"We aim for a seamless experience journey from the garden to the sea, both approachable and attractive, to retain tourists for longer and improve the quality of services," said Mr. Phuc.
