Location: Situated in Long My District, Hau
Giang Province, about 60km southwest of Cantho City.
Characteristics: During the two resistance wars, Long My was the
revolutionary base of Hau Giang and the western part of South Vietnam. Many
fierce battles took place there.
Two hundred years ago, it was a forested land. In 1920, it was reclaimed to
become now a well-off rural area. Upon arriving in Long My, tourists may visit
the temple dedicated to Uncle Ho in Luong Tam Commune. Being built in 1969 by
the Party Committee and people of Long My, the temple has undergone many
restorations. At present, it covers an area of one hectare. Annually, it
received a great number of visitors coming to pay tribute to Uncle Ho,
especially on May 19 and September 2. Long My has a complex in which visitors
may find interesting things about the glorious history in the two resistance
wars. There are also facilities for entertainment and recreation. In Long My one
should not forget to drop in the stork sanctuary in Xa Phien Commune. Having
been established since 1986, the sanctuary now boasts tens of thousands of
storks of various types and 30 typical species of birds in South Vietnam.
Tourists have the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of the sanctuary and listen to
the chirping of he birds, amid the beautiful landscape and natural surroundings.
Long My will soon become a well-known cultural and eco-tourism destination in
Hau Giang Province.
