An Phu

An Phu

An Phu ( _vi. An Phú), is a district ("huyện") of An Giang Province in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam.

Located near Chau Doc, An Phu District is famous for its rice and fish during the monsoonal flood season. The food comes in the seventh lunar month, roughly in August. The local government organises the Flood Season Festival annually. When the monsoonal season comes, many villages are inundated by water. Many houses were built on stilts to protect themselves against flooding. Many ricefields are inundated. Although produce cannot be grown in this season, the fishing catch is plentiful, and boats are the dominant mode of transport during this season.
