Sorry i come here to disturb disturb a bit. Kien Giang is NOT the southernmost province in VN. It is CA MAU. See below extracted from Wikipedia:
Cà Mau is a province of Vietnam, named after its capital city. It is located in the Mekong Delta of southern Vietnam, and is the southernmost of Vietnam's 59 provinces. It is bordered on the north by the Kien Giang and Bac Lieu provinces, on the west by the Gulf of Thailand, and on the south and east by the South China Sea (often referred to as the "East Sea".) Its name came from the Khmers who inhabited the area before the arrival of the Vietnamese, Ca Mau means black in Khmer.
Economy
Being surrounded by sea on three sides, fishing is an important industry in Cà Mau province. An extensive network of canals also supports a strong agricultural sector, as well as providing a popular means of transport. The U Minh biosphere reserve and Mũi Cà Mau, the southernmost point of Vietnam, serve also as important tourism destinations. The Mui Ca Mau National Park is located at Mũi Cà Mau.
