An Giang leaves you breathless


But this beautiful and imposing part of the That Son (Seven Mountains) range in Tinh Bien District is no longer off-limits. It has, in fact, become an ecotourism hotspot renowned for its lovely landscapes.

The Mitreya Buddha statue is located in Tinh Bien District, An Giang Province. The statue is 33.6m high and 30m wide.
Nui Cam has a subtropical climate with an average temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. It is at its most attractive in spring when the weather is cool and fresh, trees are verdant, and nature is bountiful.

Standing on Cam Mountain on cloudless days, one can get a panoramic view of the immense rice fields merging with the sea in Ha Tien on one side and the border with Cambodia on the other.

Cam Mountain is actually made up of five smaller peaks, Thien Tue, Bo Hong, Ong Buom, Dau and Ba, where plants and flowers grow around the year to make for a pretty and tranquil picture. Early in the morning, the tops of these peaks are usually covered in mist.

From the foot, one can take a 15- to 18-minute drive up a newly opened 8km road to the top of Thien Tue.

The more adventurous can also make a 4km hike up Bo Hong, which, at 710m above sea level, is called the roof of the Cuu Long (Mekong) River Delta.
