Tiền Giang (Vietnamese: [tiən˨˩ jaːŋ˧˧]) is a province in the Mekong Delta region of southern Vietnam. The province was formed in February 1976, by the merger of Định Tường and Gò Công provinces. Tiền Giang has an advantage of being located between two important economic regions – the Southern Key Economic Zone (SKEZ) and the Mekong Delta. The province is a gateway to Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) and other eastern provinces as well as those of the Mekong Delta through its system of 150 kilometres (93 mi) road, one expressway, four National Roads (1, 30, 50 and 60). The coastline is 32 kilometres (20 mi) long with thousands of coastal warp, which is an advantage for aquatic breeding such as crab and sea-based economic development.
