Ngã Bảy is a former provincial city of Hậu Giang province in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. Its name means the seven-way intersection, because it is the meeting place of seven canals, the Cái Côn, Quản Lộ-Phụng Hiệp, Lái Hiếu, Mang Cá, Mương Lộ, Xẻo Dong and Xẻo Môn, and an important waterway hub of the delta. It was split from Phụng Hiệp district in 2005 as the town of Tân Hiệp, a name that locals protested, and in late 2006 it was renamed after a popular market. With 101,192 people in 2017 it was the biggest city of Hậu Giang, ahead of the capital Vị Thanh. The city lies on National Road 1A between Cần Thơ and Sóc Trăng, 30 kilometres from each and 40 kilometres from Vị Thanh, and the Phụng Hiệp floating market formed at the intersection of seven rivers from 1915.
