Famous Places for Beautiful Women in Vietnam
Dong Thap (Nha Man)
Dong Thap is renowned for its beautiful women, especially the village of Nha Man in Tan Nhuan Dong commune, Chau Thanh district. Nha Man is nicknamed the “land of beauties,” as its women are known for their exquisite beauty, with smooth white skin, delicate features, sweet voices, and graceful personalities. According to history, about 250 years ago, Lord Nguyen Anh, while fleeing the Tay Son army, abandoned hundreds of concubines in this area. These beauties later married local men, giving birth to descendants who inherited their exceptional beauty, thus earning the region its reputation.
Surveys suggest that women from Nha Man typically possess fair complexions, delicate features, sweet voices, and charming personalities. Their beauty is a blend of the gentle grace of the Western region and the cultural diversity of the Vietnamese, Chinese, and Khmer communities coexisting in the area.

Tien Giang, especially the Go Cong region, is regarded as the “hometown of empresses,” boasting two prominent historical figures: Empress Tu Du (Pham Thi Hang) and Empress Nam Phuong (Nguyen Huu Thi Lan). Women from this region are celebrated for their “fair skin and long hair,” along with their intelligence and dexterity, embodying the ideal of beauty and brains.
