The beauty of water-rising season in Hau Giang

Located along lower branches of the Mekong River in Vietnam, Hau Giang is one of the last provinces in the Mekong Delta to welcome the annual flooding season. It is seen as a gift from heaven, bringing tonnes of fish into the paddy fields along with alluvial deposits to fertilize the next crop. The floods usually come late July or early August and remain until November or even later.
