Cai Rang floating market
Cai Rang floating market is a unique and typical type of market of the Mekong Delta that cannot be found anywhere else in Vietnam. And this is also the most typical, busiest, and famous market for Western river culture. Cai Rang Can Tho floating market will bring you unique experiences such as admiring the poetic scenery of the floating market at dawn, sitting on a boat immersing yourself in the bustling commercial atmosphere in the early morning and enjoying a bowl of vermicelli right on the boat... extremely wonderful. Cai Rang Can Tho floating market is located on Can Tho river, number 46 Hai Ba Trung street, Ninh Kieu district, Can Tho city. Cai Rang Can Tho floating market was recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2016. Cai Rang Can Tho floating market was formed in the early 20th century, mainly trading agricultural products, fruits, and specialties of the Mekong Delta. In the past, the market became the largest rice purchasing place in the West for overseas Chinese. For those who love to explore and want to learn about the culture of the Southern river region, Cai Rang Can Tho floating market is the most ideal destination. Cai Rang floating market in Can Tho has the common characteristics of floating markets in the West as it is located right at the confluence of three rivers (Cai Rang and Hau river branches). This location has a water level that is neither deep nor shallow so boats can easily anchor and move. This place is also located near a market on the shore and a large fruit bowl. Previously, Cai Rang market sold mainly agricultural products and each boat only specialized in selling a certain type of product. However, now the market sells more diverse foods, household items and essential things for life on the river. Can Tho has two distinct rainy and sunny seasons. The rainy season starts from May to November, the dry season from December to April of the following year. You can go to the floating market in both seasons. If you like to eat fruit, you should go in the sunny season (summer) because this is the season when fruits in the West are super abundant. Completely different from the market on the mainland, Cai Rang Can Tho floating market and other floating markets of the Western provinces all open very early. From 4am - 5am is the appropriate time to go to Cai Rang Can Tho floating market. Because at this time, boats began racing to the market. Coming to the market at this time, you will not only be able to immerse yourself in the bustling atmosphere of buyers and sellers, but also have the opportunity to admire the beautiful picture of the floating market when dawn breaks. Arriving at the market center around 6am, at this time you can have breakfast right on the boat which is just beautiful. Cai Rang Can Tho floating market sells a variety of items. Each boat sells a different item, from baskets of delicious, fresh Western fruits to stalls of essential household items for daily life. Due to the large space of the floating market, the sound of waves crashing, and loud engine noise, it is not possible to use advertising sounds like on the mainland, so the items for sale will be hung by the boat owner on a pole - people here call it a "bee" tree so that buyers can easily recognize the items they need and come closer to buy. If you go to the floating market at 5 or 6 a.m., 7 a.m. is a great time for breakfast. Don't think there are only agricultural products like sweet potatoes, pumpkins, cassava, taro... or just fresh fruits. To serve local people as well as tourists, there are many small boats weaving around the river selling breakfast on the boat such as porridge, rib rice, noodles, vermicelli noodles, fried vermicelli... and drinks such as tea, coffee, pineapple coconut, Siamese coconut, soy milk... And don't be surprised when you see a pub right on the river! Among the countless delicious dishes sold here, noodles and braised coffee are two specialties you must try when coming to Cai Rang floating market in Can Tho. These are two unique delicious specialties born from the characteristics of river culture. Talking about the birth of shaken noodles, it is because every time boats selling noodles stop, customers buy a bowl of noodles to eat right there. There are no tables or chairs like on the shore, this noodle dish sits on a wobbly boat, shaking back and forth, people call it shaking noodle soup. With the specialty dish of shaken noodles, in the past, people used ceramic bowls and waited for the guests to finish eating before receiving the bowl back. Nowadays, to save time, many boats also make plastic bowls to take away. The next destination is Ba Cong fruit garden. There is a small note that I learned from my previous trip to Can Tho for 3 days and 2 nights: after visiting the floating market, you should visit the Que Toi coconut candy factory first and then return to the garden. Because when we come to the garden, we will definitely enjoy countless types of fresh fruits, but we just had breakfast before so it will reduce your "taste" quite a bit. Coconut candy is an indispensable snack in each of our childhoods. So do you know how to make coconut candy? Coming to Que Toi coconut candy factory, you will learn the full process of making a small, beautiful but extremely delicious coconut candy. There is no admission fee here. After visiting and "asking" the aunt and uncle to participate in some steps in the coconut candy making process such as stirring the boiling candy mixture on the stove, wrapping the candy... you can visit the souvenir shop and buy some souvenirs. And don't forget to buy some Can Tho coconut candy for people at home! Traditional noodle oven is an attractive tourist destination when coming to Can Tho. Coming here, you will be able to visit the traditional noodle making process, enjoy the unique "Noodle Pizza" dish, this traditional noodle soup has been around for a long time. Coming here, you will be able to visit the stages of making noodles from cooking rice paper from flour, drying, cutting into noodles and other stages. One of the most special things about Cai Rang Can Tho floating market is that every weekend (Saturday, Sunday) there will be an amateur music boat traveling along the river. While listening to Southern melodies, watching the "daily" scene of a floating market, sitting on a boat along the Hau River, you will feel the peace and excitement of this land. The sound of the boat starting its engine, the sound of water lapping the side of the boat. Explore the famous Cai Rang Floating Market and experience immersing yourself in the life of the people in the Mekong Delta will definitely leave you with many memorable memories during your trip to Can Tho.

Waking up early in the morning, visitors can enjoy the quiet space and watch the pure white clouds floating halfway up the mountain. When the sun's rays shine, the clouds gradually disappear, revealing a sky high, blue sky. Sunlight shines down on the valley of dense clouds below. Wherever the sunlight shines, the clouds quickly dissipate, revealing the pristine village of the indigenous people. Just a few seconds ago, the whole valley was still engulfed in mist, suddenly glowing brightly under the sunlight and deep blue sky. When sunset falls, the last rays of sunlight shine through the clouds, creating a space with extremely impressive pink and orange tones. Because of that poetic beauty, Ta Xua this season is attracting a large number of photographers and young people who love to explore and adventure.

The most impressive thing is when the sea of thick, white clouds floats right under your feet, after a strong wind blows the clouds over the mountain slopes, covering the forests and villages, it's really interesting. I took many beautiful moments to preserve memories of this peaceful land and will definitely return to this place many more times. Places such as Ta Xua intersection, Gio peak, Ta Xua commune center, Dolphin peak, lonely tree... and cafes are also "coordinates" that many tourists choose as ideal "cloud hunting" places. Enjoying a cup of Ta Xua specialty tea that radiates a sweet aroma, visitors are captivated by the poetic beauty amid the vast "sea" of clouds with waves of clouds hitting the mountainside. The image of sometimes dense white clouds, sometimes drifting lazily, is very interesting, giving the feeling of being immersed in the clouds and sky, immersing yourself in the nature of the mountains and forests. Furthermore, enjoying a cup of Ta Xua tea in an airy space, with the cold weather, feels extremely comfortable and peaceful. With fresh air, majestic natural scenery, beautiful like a "fairyland", and friendly smiles of gentle and hospitable indigenous people, "Ta Xua Cloud Paradise" has become an attractive destination for tourists on their journey to Son La and the Northwest.
