Situated at the southernmost point of Vietnam, Bac Lieu borders Can Tho to the north, the South China Sea to the south, Ca Mau to the west and Soc Trang to the east. The province is quite small, but packed with several sights.
One of the most interesting venues is the Bac Lieu bird sanctuary, home to over 50-odd species of birds and extremely popular with locals. Moi Hoa Binh pagoda with its tall tower is also worth a visit.
As Bac Lieu is located out-of-the-way for tourists, the province doesn’t see many foreign faces. However, Bac Lieu beach is ideal for those into tide pool, but note the water is murky because of the Mekong Delta mud.
