Cai Rang Floating Market
Date: 29/05/2018

Cai Rang floating market is located on Cai Rang river, Cai Rang district. It is about 5 km away from the center of Can Tho city and about 15 minutes away from Ninh Kieu quay by motorbike and 30 minutes away by boat.

The market is about 500m away from Cai Rang Bridge, following Vo Tanh road to Ba Lang canal towards Phong Dien district.

Cai Rang floating market is famous for its unique and interesting elements. Here, the simplicity and genuine beauty of the floating market remain intact from time to time even though the trade activities are always bustling daily with customers from everywhere. In 2016, Cai Rang floating market was recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage.

Cai Rang Floating Market is one of the most interesting tourist attractions in Can Tho city. It is also selected as one of the five most beautiful floating markets in Asia by Youramazingplaces, a tourism site.

The best time to visit the floating market is from 5am to 8am because this is the most bustling and busiest moment of the market. Early in the morning, hundreds of boats gather to buy and sell goods in crowds. The most distinctive feature of the floating market is probably the bamboo pole called “Cây Bẹo”, a unique way to advertise goods. “Cây Bẹo” is a bamboo with a length of 3m - 5m hanging all kinds of goods to invite buyers. A forest of “Cây Bẹo”, hanging all kinds of agricultural products, vibrating under the undulating waves of boats, is an interesting scene, leaving an unforgettable impression to every visitor.
