Floating market – a creative way of trading that Mekong Delta people have been originating to cope with the dense network of rivers in this region. For centuries, the main vehicle for transportation here was boat, and the floating market was born to serve the high demand for goods exchange. Gradually, it becomes the signature image of the South West’s people and landscape. Visiting Cai Rang market floating in its most beautiful and active hour is the best way to experience the culture of the Nine Dragon River Delta.

We had a good guide and wonderful experience in a smaller boat. The larger tourist boats that we saw going past had loud music and were too ig to get in close. We had a great breakfast on the water.

We wake up so early to get to the market with our tour guide (Vung) by sampan boat. We cruised into the floating market to see many vendors who sell vegetables and fruits like watermelon and pineapple. We do feel the market is still really big, with around 100 boats selling fruits, but it is quite hard and boring for people to stay and sleep on the boat. Our guide said they consider the boat like a house, so they always live on the boat. I sometimes saw some kids, chickens, and television on their boat; this is so impressive for us.
Then, we also go to wild canals and rural villages and visit some factories to learn how to make rice noodles and chocolate step by step and manually. The trip is quite expensive, but really worth every penny. We have a very small group, only four of us. Our guide was lovely and had a wide range of knowledge about culture and people in the Mekong Delta. He invited so many yummy foods, like rice noodle soup and pineapple. In conclusion, the trip was fantastic and memorable for us. And I want to recommend it to everyone if they want to explore the Mekong Delta.
