Hau Giang is a province located in the Mekong Delta region in the southern part of Vietnam. Vị Thanh is the capital.Until the end of the Vietnam War in 1975, the province included the city of Can Tho which was the provincial capital. In 1975, the province was renamed Can Tho Province, with the city of Can Tho still the capital. In late 2004, Can Tho and some surrounding cities became Can Tho Municipality. The remainder of Can Tho Province became Hau Giang Province.

There are 120 km of national roads: National Highway 61 (which leads to National Highway 1, going through Can Tho Municipality on the Hau River to Ho Chi Minh City), and water connections by canal and river to the Hau River.An estimated 80% of the province will be underwater following a 0.5 metres (1 ft 8 in) sea level rise relative to the current land elevation, which is subsiding over time.
