According to local long-time residents of Tan Lap Floating Village, this place was originally a wetland. To adapt to living conditions, people here have built houses on high mounds, and with each level of water, the floor is also raised according to the water level. Over time, the name "floating village" was born.
During the flood season, the surrounding fields are submerged in water. Looking down from above, Tan Lap Floating Village - Long An appears like giant green rafts floating in the middle of a sea of white water. All create a beautiful natural picture that any tourist should admire at least once in their life.
Tan Lap Floating Village has an area of 135 hectares and is planned to be built into a typical tourist area of Long An and Dong Thap Muoi.
