Tips for traveling to Tien Giang
2. How to get to Tien Giang
Currently, Tien Giang does not have an airport, so transportation is mainly by road. Most vehicles to Tien Giang depart from Ho Chi Minh City, so if you are coming from another province, travel to Ho Chi Minh City before heading to Tien Giang. If you are starting from the Northern or Central regions, you can book a flight to HCMC to save time. The distance from HCMC to Tien Giang is only about 70km, so you can choose one of the three transportation options below:
Motorbike Adventure
If you enjoy off-road travel, adventure, or self-discovery type of tourism, riding a motorbike to Tien Giang is undoubtedly an experience not to be missed. Unless you encounter traffic jams or unexpected incidents, it will take you approximately 2 hours to travel.

Traveling by Bus
If you've already made plans for a solo trip or have relatives or friends in Tiền Giang and just need to travel from Sài Gòn down there, a bus ticket priced around 80-100k VND would be a good option. The travel time by bus will be less than going by motorcycle. At the same time, you can take advantage of the journey to rest or prepare yourself mentally for the upcoming exploration.
Opt for a guided tour
For those who have never traveled on their own, it's best to go on a guided tour. Although the time to visit each destination on a tour may be limited, you won't have to worry about what to eat, where to stay, which attractions to visit, etc. This will also be a valuable experience for future trips where you may want to organize it yourself.
Explore the culinary and cultural richness of the river region
Culinary delights are a must-not-miss when visiting a new land. Through cuisine, you can grasp the fundamental cultural aspects and unique features of a region.

Thới Sơn Islet
Thái Sơn Islet, affectionately known as Dragon Islet, is part of the quartet of islets - Dragon, Unicorn, Turtle, and Phoenix. It's a renowned tourist destination attracting a multitude of visitors each year.
