Apart from the floating market, a must-see destination, the Cái Răng district presents more sites known to visitors namely Hakia Garden, Bao Gia Farm, Can Tho Ecolodge, etc. Along with the development of river tourism, ecotourism and leisure tourism are being operated and promoted by the locality.
The green space of Hakia Garden.

About 7km from the center of Can Tho city, Can Tho Ecolodge resort (542, area 3, Ba Lang ward, Cai Rang district) is a favorite destination for many tourists. Can Tho Ecolodge belongs to the Asia Ecolodge system - an ecotourism model built on the foundation of four elements called close to nature, environmental protection, cultural preservation, and sustainable tourism. In Vietnam, the Ecolodge system is built in four localities namely Hoa Binh, Hue, Tien Giang, and Can Tho.

Oriented towards respect for the environment, Can Tho Ecolodge is designed in an aboriginal style with materials from nature. The rest area is over 2.4 ha, comprising 48 rooms in original architecture with roof in palm leaves, walls clad in coconut wood, furniture in mangrove wood ... offers visitors a pleasant and familiar atmosphere. These 48 rooms are divided into 12 two-story bungalows which, when viewed from a distance, appear like village houses in fairy tales. Can Tho Ecolodge also has ideal open green spaces. The canal bordered by many kinds of multicolored local flowers, flowing sinuously in the enclosure, has its source at the Ba Láng River. The whole space is surrounded by the greenery of plants, flower gardens, vegetable gardens. From the balcony of the rooms overlooking the gardens or the panorama of the tranquil canal, visitors can contemplate the beauty of nature. An architecturally styled outdoor swimming pool is at your disposal for free-swimming or sunbathing and enjoying the fresh air of the western countryside. Ecolodge also offers you varied gastronomy with many delicious dishes made with fresh organic ingredients from the river delta.

Can Tho Ecolodge connects to the orchards in the surroundings for the programs of the discovery of the culture, the customs and the local customs like the bike tour on the rural paths, visit of orchards, villages of traditional trades or families of three generations under the same roof. Cantho Ecolodge, offering experiences to live close to nature like locals, becomes an interesting destination for visitors to Cái Răng in particular and Cần Thơ in general.

Hakia Garden is a new destination in Cái Răng recommended by word of mouth among tourists recently. Located at 333, Trần Hưng Ðạo street, Lê Bình district, this site is recognized as a typical address for vegetarian cuisine in the city of Cần Thơ. On an area of 1.8 ha of an old garden, Hakia Garden keeps all its very natural greenery like canals, trees, houses with coconut leaf roofs, and so on. Moreover, Hakia Garden has several areas such as restaurants, children's play areas, traditional cake-making workshops, etc. It is the vegetarian cuisine that is unique to Hakia Garden. About a hundred recipes from several regions, from popular to fancy dishes, meet the needs of the most gourmet visitors with diverse flavors. Hakia Garden becomes an ideal destination for those who adore natural and calm spaces for their weekends.

The district of Cái Răng has many potentials for the development of tourism. This locality, just 5 km from the city center of Cần Thơ has all the advantages of transport and its Cái Răng floating market bearing the cultural identity of the river region and known all over the world. Orchards and traditional craft villages, adding to the list of Cái Răng's assets, promote the promotion and diversification of types of travel, especially river tourism, ecotourism, and leisure travel. Many new destinations on Cái Răng: Azerai Can Tho, Green Village Homestay, Bảo Gia Farm… are therefore recently linked to the floating market visit program as quality tourism products.

 “You could say that the floating market is the basis for connecting other sites. With this asset, the district of Cái Răng boldly deploys its potential in ecotourism, leisure travel and different types of homestays bearing the local cultural identity; and thereby designs a system of diversified products and services”, Said Mr. Vương Công Khanh, Permanent Vice-President of the People's Committee of the Cái Răng district. The call for investment in projects for residential tourist areas in the south and others on the banks of the Hậu River, on the Cồn Ấu islet or in the agricultural lands of the Phú Thứ district ... will be its long-term objective for the optimal exploitation of the potentialities and the diversification of the tourist products of the locality.
