Con Son Islet

About this location

Con Son Islet - Southern River Delta Orchard Space Con Son is an islet located in the middle of the Hau River, in Binh Thuy Ward, Can Tho City. Covering an area of about 70 hectares, it features a system of orchards, agricultural land, and residential communities. According to the city's master plan, Con Son is designated as an area of significant landscape value and is listed among areas slated for provincial-level landscape protection. Con Son clearly embodies the characteristic riverine landscape and orchard lifestyle of Southern Vietnam, featuring the Hau River, orchards, internal pathways within the islet, and local production activities. Since 2014, local residents have developed community-based tourism, creating a space where natural landscapes intertwine with daily life and local labor. This provides suitable visual material for portraying rural life in the Southwestern region. With its open landscapes, orchards, and river spaces, Con Son is well-suited as a backdrop for psychological-family dramas, television series, documentaries, and reportages, particularly for scenes depicting rural life, agricultural labor, and Southern community activities. The water surfaces and the islet also facilitate wide shots, medium shots, and camera angles tied to riverine scenery, depending on actual production requirements. Compiled by: PTIT.

Infrastructure

Special notes

• As Con Son is an island situated in the middle of a river, special attention must be paid to waterway safety, deep water, and drowning hazards, particularly when filming at riverbanks, the water's edge, fish rafts, or using sampans/boats as backdrops. Internal paths, garden walkways, and riverside areas can be slippery and muddy, especially after rain. When transporting personnel and equipment by ferry or boat, life jackets must be worn, passenger numbers and payload must be strictly monitored, and bulky equipment must be arranged to prevent vessel imbalance. During the rainy season, watch out for heavy rain, thunderstorms/squalls, rising water levels, and challenging waterway travel conditions.
