Long Xuyên

如何抵達

By bus Long Xuyen can be best reached by bus, which takes about 5 hours from Ho Chi Minh City or 1½ hours from Can Tho.

當地交通

The city itself is not as large as its close neighbor Can Tho and the centre of town is easily walkable. Like any other Vietnamese city there are plenty of xe-om motorcycle drivers or a bicycle with cart attached (xe loi), which is a specialty of the Mekong. Another easy mode of transportation is renting a bike from a streetside bike repairman, although most foreigners would prefer a motorbike to go farther into the province when time permits.
