Vĩnh Thuận is a rural district of Kiên Giang province in the Mekong River Delta region of Vietnam.

However, as with other districts in the region, the aquaculture movement (shrimp feeding) has been started on endless low-productivity salted water fields in recent years.

Located in the centre of U Minh Thượng, "Hồ Hoa Mai" (Apricot) Ecological Tourist Area is a destination for travellers.

From high watch-towers, the apricot-shaped lake can be seen, and interminable green cajuput (in Vietnamese: cây tràm - the most popular tree in the region which forms extensive forests) forests surrounding below.

The centre of district, Vĩnh Thuận town, lies on the Cái Lớn river which flows over from Hau Giang Province to Cà Mau Province (the part flowing through Thới Bình District, Cà Mau Province called Sông Trẹm (Trẹm river)).
