Stay · Taste · Wander · Remember

Hello, Long Xuyen.

There are cities that don't need to impress you right from the first visit.

Long Xuyen has a different way of being remembered — not too rushed to be chased, not too unfamiliar to require much time to get acquainted with.

Ginkgo magazine cover: A place to stay. A city to feel. Long Xuyen, An Giang. A ginkgo leaf on the water's surface.Hello Long Xuyen. The city lives at its own pace — by the river, with its markets, streets, and people accustomed to starting their day early. Perhaps, a beautiful encounter should begin like this.

Arrival leave the noise behind.

There are places where you feel a sense of familiarity the moment you see them.

Here, time also seems to slow down.

  • Arrival — Some places feel familiar the moment you meet them. Ginkgo's facade at sunset.
  • Step inside — Leave the noise behind. The black and white checkered lobby and lotus table.
  • Stillness — Here, time knows how to slow down. The sunlit lobby with white columns.
  • Just sit a little longer — out there, the day is still long. Wrought iron coffee table and lotus flowers.
  • Crafted in details — Sometimes what makes us remember a place isn't anything grand, but a ray of sunlight, a sprig of flowers, or a small corner that once calmed our heart.
  • A moment for you — There are trips where all we need to bring back is a quiet moment just for ourselves.
  • Ginkgo — The Art of Hospitality. A quieter stay in the heart of Vietnam. Receptionists in green ao dai dresses.
  • The quiet within — Leaving behind the sounds, only a few soft footsteps remain. And a door, waiting to open, revealing its own private space.

Stay the quiet between journeys.

When traveling far, sometimes what people need isn't just another place to go.

But a place where you are allowed to stop.

  • Stay — Close the door. Put your luggage down. Let the sounds outside slow down. A bed that's just comfortable enough, a bit of light by the window. And for a few short hours, there's no need to go anywhere.
  • A room is made up of very small things. Silence isn't about the complete absence of noise, but about everything being in its proper place. The details aren't ostentatious, but you can feel them everywhere.
  • Sometimes, all you need is for the water to flow. No need to think. No need to remember. Just let the rest drift away.
  • A Room for You — More than just a room, it's about paying attention to even the smallest details.
  • Made for your moment — And then, the room becomes yours.
  • The quiet details — Luxury lives in what is quietly considered. A cup, a flower, a pause.
  • When the streetlights come on — the street has lights for people to walk through. And there are lights that make people want to return home.
  • When the city glows — Ginkgo slows the night down.

III

Taste taste has memories too.

There are places we remember through a taste.

A passing scent can still bring us back.

  • Taste — A sip of warm coffee. A dish that's familiar enough to feel comforting, yet different enough to let you know you're in a different land. Taste, too, has memories.
  • Ngoi Xua Café — A nostalgic yellow corner of Long Xuyen. A small tiled roof, a few wooden tables and chairs, green plants on the porch. Some places touch our memories with nothing more than sunlight and simplicity.
  • The table — What we remember most is not what was served, but who sat with us. Perhaps the most beautiful flavor is the flavor of being together.
  • Where you belong — The long day comes to an end. And we return to a place where there's no need to rush.
  • After the lights come on — Evening doesn't change Ginkgo. It reveals another side of it. Ginkgo bar at night.
  • The art of staying — Some moments are not simply served. They are quietly composed.
  • Signature Sips — Crafted with care. Thoughtfully selected ingredients, meticulously prepared.
  • Rooftop BBQ — The evening is still young. Cozy BBQ parties on the rooftop, amidst the open space and soft lighting.

A day at Ginkgo.

End the day peacefully. Return to a restful sleep.

Morning gently touches the windowpane. And a new day begins.

  • Let the day go — End the day gently. Return to restful sleep.
  • Morning finds you here — Morning gently touches the window. And a new day begins.
  • Good morning, Ginkgo — A new day has just kissed the windowpane.
  • A quiet morning — There are mornings when you don't need to go far. Just stand still, and let the sun find you.
  • The quiet details — Luxury is rarely loud. It lives in the things someone cares enough to notice.
  • A language of its own — You begin to recognize a place by the smallest things.
  • A moment of your own — Some places give you a room. Some give you time.

Long Xuyen a city by the water.

Before there were roads, there were rivers.

Moving forward while carrying where we began.

  • The river — In this land, water doesn't just flow through a city. It carries boats, brings goods to the market, and carries silt through the seasons. Before there were roads, there were rivers.
  • Long Xuyen Floating Market, 5:17 AM — While the city is still asleep, there is a market that has been awake for a long time. Boats have left the docks, goods are exchanged, and a hot cup of coffee is enjoyed on the river.
  • The taste of a land — To remember a place, sometimes you have to taste it. A dish of the Mekong Delta lets you touch a part of life here.
  • Fish noodle soup — A hot bowl. A cherished memory. Not in the things we try to preserve, but in the things we live with every day.
  • We can't take a place home, but we can take a little of its soul. A sweet treat, a familiar taste of the Mekong Delta, a small handmade keepsake.
  • What to bring home? A little piece of An Giang — palm sugar, Chau Doc fermented fish, dried fish, palm sugar cakes, handicrafts. Taste it here: bun ca (fish noodle soup), xi quach (pork bone broth), hot pot, Long Xuyen coffee.
  • People — Cities may be built of buildings, but they are remembered by their people.
  • President Ton Duc Thang Memorial Area, My Hoa Hung — Before becoming a part of history, everyone once had a place to begin.
  • An Giang Museum — The land remembers. Some stories have no one left to tell them, but their traces remain.

Every journey comes to an end.

A morning, a taste, a light, someone we met.

And a place we call “home”.

  • Thank you for being here. We leave a room, a street, a city. But sometimes, the little things quietly accompany us. Who knows, maybe one day we'll come back to visit each other.
  • The Art of Welcome — A welcome has a face. A stay has a memory. The Ginkgo Motel team in front of the motel.
  • Some places stay with us. A ginkgo leaf on the water's surface.
