The canal digging process lasted 5 years: 1819 – 1824. Vinh Te Canal - a historical project of great stature in the Southwestern border of Vietnam, became a testament to the perseverance and creativity of our ancestors in the work of reclaiming land and protecting sovereignty. Carried out through three construction phases over 5 years, Vinh Te Canal is not only a strategic traffic route but also a symbol of the nation's indomitable spirit.

The establishment of the Vinh Te Canal in 1824 was a pivotal step in the Nguyen Dynasty's strategy to fortify the southwestern border. The canal’s value further affirmed the Nguyen Dynasty's commitment to developing transportation across border regions, aligning with their dual goals of expanding new territories and establishing a defensive network to assert national sovereignty. The Dai Nam Nhat Thong Chi states: “From then, waterways were connected, and both border security and trade reaped immense benefits.”
