Located to the north of Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong is an intermediate region between the Central Highlands and the Mekong Delta in southern Vietnam and only 15-km away from Saigon city center.
Despite its reputation as one of the most developing industrialized province in the country, Binh Duong is also home to many architectural and historical sites, stunning natural scenery, spiritual attractions, art and handicraft villages, and culinary specialities. For those who are into cultural heritage, do pay a visit to Binh Duong’s famous craftworks villages: Minh Long ceramics, Binh Nham Wooden Shoe village, Phu Tho Wood Sculpture village, Tuong Binh Hiep Binh Lacquer village, and so on.
Lai Thieu Orchard is another must-visit destination in Binh Duong thanks to well-preserved nature. Go for a picnic at lush orchards full of sweet fruit-laden branches along Saigon River to experience the life of local people and enjoy the fresh taste of Vietnamese tropical fruits.
