City

Hà Tiên

South-eastern Asia

Hà Tiên is a former provincial city of the former Kiên Giang province in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. It covered 100.49 square kilometres and had 81,576 people in 2019, and it borders Cambodia to the west. The city is a tourist site of the region thanks to its beaches and landscapes. After its dissolution on 16 June 2025 it was divided into Hà Tiên ward and Tô Châu ward of An Giang province. The name comes from the Sino-Vietnamese words meaning river spirit. A settlement and a port seem to have stood on the site from a very early period, and Ptolemy's Geography identified a town there as Akadra. The town of Hà Tiên was established by a small group of Chinese people, mostly men who supported the Ming dynasty and opposed the Qing, led by Mạc Cửu, and it later became part of Vietnamese territory.
