Things to Do in Pho Chau

A lively local market selling fresh produce, street food, and household goods. Best visited early morning when vendors set out their wares.

🕐 Daily 5:00 AM–12:00 PM

💡 Try the bánh cuốn from stall 7 near the north entrance—piping hot and under 20,000 VND.

A concrete obelisk and memorial plaque commemorating local soldiers from the Indochina Wars. Surrounded by a small paved square.

🕐 Always open

💡 Combined visit with the market—just 5 minutes walk east. Quiet in mornings, popular for evening strolls by teenagers.

A paved footpath along the riverbank, shaded by bamboo and acacia trees. Benches and small piers for sitting or fishing.

🕐 Always open

💡 Sunset at 5:30 PM is best—bring a bottle of water as there's no shade further south.

A quiet Buddhist temple with a large seated Buddha statue and modest garden. Locals come to pray and leave offerings.

🕐 Daily 6:00 AM–6:00 PM

💡 Go in late afternoon for cooler weather and fewer visitors. The incense shop outside sells bundles for 5,000 VND.

A lesser-visited temple with faded murals and a bronze bell cast in 1943. The courtyard has a well and frangipani tree.

🕐 Daily 7:00 AM–5:00 PM
