Huyện Phú Tân Long Xuyen, the capital city of An Giang province, is a significant urban hub in the Mekong Delta  region of Vietnam. It is known for its rich history, particularly during the time when the Hoa Hao Buddhist sect was active in the area. The Hoa Hao Buddhists, also known as  Vietnamese Buddhists, practiced a distinct version of Buddhism that was unique to Vietnam.
