Amidst the great Tien River in Cho Moi District, An Giang Province locates a lush little quaint and beautiful island of Cu Lao Gieng. Situating between Chau Doc and Sa Dec, Cu Lao Gieng is an inviting stop along the Mekong Cruise itinerary due to its distinct beauty from the vast greenery, peaceful villages to a great number of cultural sites standing for the rich history and different religions, which also showcases a colorful local life of different communities concordantly residing on the island for centuries.
The island itself surely arouses the interest of visitors due to the surprising occupation of numerous Catholic monasteries and churches here rather than Buddhist temples or pagodas. One of the major monasteries on Cu Lao Gieng was once an important convent including an orphanage, a school, a hospice, and a leprosy centre. Anyone visiting the island will be excitedly wowed when seeing such impressive architectures of monasteries in the middle of nowhere. Enjoying an excursion to Cu Lao Gieng then pleasantly soak up the colonial atmosphere of gorgeous monasteries and old buildings amidst the fruit orchards would be an unforgettable experience during your Mekong River cruise trip.
