Tra Vinh

Tra Vinh is located at the end of the island, between Tien and Hau rivers. The terrain is mainly flat land with an altitude of less than 1m above sea level. Because it is located in the coastal plain, there are many sand dunes running along the coast, forming parallel curves. The closer the beds are to the sea, the taller and wider they are. With separation by rice fields and a network of roads and canals, Tra Vinh's terrain is quite complex. There are low areas sandwiched between high fields, and the slope is only shown on each field. In particular, the southern part of the province has low land, divided by bow-shaped sand dunes into many small depressions, with heights of only 0.5-0.8m. Therefore, every year, this area is often flooded with saltwater for a period of 3-5 months.

The rainy season is from May to November, the dry season is from December to April of the following year, the average rainfall is from 1,400 - 1,600mm, with favorable conditions for investment in production, business and tourism[4] . Every year, drought often occurs, causing difficulties for production with a number of consecutive days without rain from 10 to 18 days, in which districts such as Cau Ke, Cang Long, and Tra Cu are districts that rarely suffer from drought. Tieu Can district has an important drought at the beginning of the crop around June and July, while the remaining districts such as Chau Thanh, Cau Ngang, Duyen Hai have drought in the middle of the crop but in July and August are often more serious. Tra Vinh also faces a current difficulty: being flooded with salt water during some dry seasons of the year.
