Vinh Long is a city and the capital of Vinh Long Province in Vietnam's Mekong Delta. Vinh Long covers 48.1 km2 and has a population of 147,039 (as of 2009). Vinh Long is on the Co Chien River, which branches out from the Mekong River at the narrows of My Thuan about 10 kilometers upstream, only to meet it later downstream. Across the Co Chien river from Vinh Long are the An Binh and Binh Hoa Phuoc islands, some 15 kilometers across, with the Mekong River on the other side. A number of canals run through Vinh Long, with tall vehicular bridges crossing them. Transport by boat is possible, although parts of the town, particularly An Binh, become unreachable at low tide. The floating market town of Cai Be is on the other side of the An Binh island and is the frequent destination for tourist boats from Vinh Long.
