Sa Dec region

If it is often presented as the capital of the province of Dong Thap, Sa dec looks more like a town full of charm, thanks to its countless arroyos, its small bridges, or its old French-style houses dating back a hundred years ago… All this gives this small town the nickname of “Oriental Venice” in the Mekong Delta. And if you’ve ever set foot here, you’ll have no reason not to look for traces of a time when the famous French novelist Marguerite Duras lived.

+ The former house of Mr. Huynh Thuy Le

Built in 1895, The former house of Mr. Huynh Thuy Le mixes French and Vietnamese styles. This is where the French novelist of the famous novel L’Amant lived. The house still retains a simple but very revealing decoration of a bygone era: beautiful photos, old valuables…

+ Tan Qui Dong Horticultural Village

One of the largest in Vietnam where some 2000 families of horticulturists live who supply up to a thousand species of flowers. The village’s reputation has even spread to neighboring countries such as Laos, Cambodia and China. Kim An Cung Pagoda, built in 1916, is a monument that is located in the city and is well preserved.

+ The craft village of Dinh Yen

If you take a walk in Sa dec, you can go a little away from the city, about 30 km, in search of Dinh Yen mat craft village to discover a typical local activity.
