Bull racing for An Giang

The annual Khmer Dolta Festival, which celebrates the planting of the autumn-winter crop, will be held on September 17-19. The highlight is the bull race, open to contestants from An Giang and nearby provinces, as well as Cambodia’s Takeo province. Each race involves two contestants who lead a pair of oxen and compete in muddy paddy fields along a 100m race.
The ox races are also the highlight of a three day/two night package offered at the Victoria Chau Doc Hotel. The package is priced at US$211 per person on a twin-share basis, inclusive of an excursion to nearby Sacred Sam Mountain and a boat tour to the floating fish farm and Cham village, as well as a 45-minute massage.
