The flood season brings An Giang an impressive scene. The water does not rush in like a flood, but rises slowly every day, gradually filling the rivers, canals, ponds... The once green fields are now submerged in a sea of white water. In the distance is the magical That Son range in the sunshine. The entire vast land seems to be wearing a new coat, rustic but charming.

;Every flood season, people in the West are gifted with many rich products by nature, bringing economic benefits and culinary value. In the water flowing from the upstream with crimson silt, countless fish and shrimp flock to it, such as Linh fish, snakehead fish, perch, gourami fish... Not only seafood, the high water season also brings vegetables. Other famous fruits such as sesbania, water lily, water spinach, Ca Na fruit...
After nearly a year of cultivation, the flood season is the time when the land rests, washes away toxins and provides a new layer of silt. Therefore, in this season, farmers change their livelihood activities, instead of farming, they switch to exploiting abundant resources from the river. Casting nets, fishing,... are simple fishing methods, familiar to Westerners, suitable for small households.

Like a "date" of nature, the annual flooding season brings An Giang simple beauty, fresh produce and many happy and sad emotions. It is not only the season of fields being cleaned, the season of fishing making a living, but also the season of memories. Although the high water season is now very different from before, for those born and raised along the Mekong River, the high water season is always a part of memory./.
