VIETNAM ~ Cai Rang Floating Market - Mekong Delta ~

... Beautiful floating market view crowded with sellers... Cai Rang floating market is one of 3 biggest floating market in South West Vietnam and the largest wholesale floating market in the Mekong Delta.... one of the most popular attractions in Can Tho which tourists shouldn’t miss... every early morning, hundred boats gather together where their owners start trading agricultural products, goods, fruits, food as well with an eating area... to be recognized easily, they hang out product samples on a long bamboo (called Cay Beo) in front of the boats, so that they do not need to cry their wares as in mainland market.... although their lives are not as flourishing as the lives on lands, they are still enthusiastic, friendly and keep a smiley face... with great selection of stamps used...Thanks a lot Manh!! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cai Rang floating market is located in Can Tho province, Mekong Delta on the Cai Rang river near Can Tho City (the capital of the Mekong Delta). Cai Rang was initially formed to meet the trading needs of the locals while the road traffic system was still in its infancy and it existed for over a 100 years.

These floating markets are often organized at the junction of rivers. There, the water level of rivers is not too deep, and river surface is not too wide, which is convenient for boats to moor.
