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.

Clay Pagoda is not famous for its external architecture or large scale in area, but it is a unique pagoda in Vietnam because thousands of artifacts inside are shaped from clay and made from clay. There are pairs of candles and giant incense sticks. According to the elders, Buu Son pagoda was previously just a small hermitage built around the beginning of the 19th century, built by Mr. Ngo Kim Tay for the purpose of practicing at home. At first, the pagoda was made entirely of available natural materials such as bamboo, paintings, etc. It was not until the fourth abbot, Mr. Ngo Kim Tong (1909 - 1970), that the small temple was renovated and expanded. to have Buu Son throne like now. Buu Son pagoda has an area of about 400m2 with traditional architecture of wooden columns and corrugated iron roof, but this ancient pagoda contains many unique cultural and artistic values. There are nearly 2,000 large and small Buddha statues, along with sacred animals and worship objects, molded by artist Ngo Kim Tong in clay for 42 years (from 1929 to 1970). Traveling to Soc Trang, visiting Clay Pagoda, everyone admires and admires the genius who used his lifelong determination and love for Buddhism to create this miraculous work. Mr. Ngo Kim Tong is the son of Mr. Ngo Kim Dinh. When he was young, he was often sick. In 1929, when he was 20 years old, he fell seriously ill and thought he would not survive. The family had no choice but to take Mr. Tong to a mountain temple in An Giang province for treatment and to pray to God and Buddha. While taking medicine and practicing meditation and calming down, he gradually got better. Mr. Ngo Kim Tong became a monk and returned to the temple to become the fourth generation abbot, an artist who did not go to sculpting or painting classes, did not study with a formal teacher, but only through folk contemplation created amazing works. Clay sculptures have extremely rare religious historical value. The raw materials used for making statues are mainly clay, dug by Mr. Tong from fields a few kilometers away from the pagoda, brought back to dry, then put in a mortar and pounded with a pestle until smooth, filtering out all impurities and roots. trees, grass roots, take fine soil and mix it with sawdust to make incense (incense powder) and acacia acacia to create a fragrant mixture. At that time, he just started shaping the statues. The statues were smooth and not cracked. In addition, he also researched and applied support methods for sculpting statues to meet high aesthetic requirements. He used wire mesh and wooden trees to build the ribs, then used mosquito net fabric to cover it and covered it with mixed materials to make the statue. , the exterior is covered with a layer of metallic paint and varnish. Not only with his skillful and talented hands, but also with his extremely rich imagination, hundreds of large and small statues were formed without duplication. Each statue has a different look, clearly showing the spirit on each face. It is also the result of the mind of a Buddha-oriented person, the diligence, diligence, and quietness that brings sweetness to life. Mr. Ngo Kim Tong also created other works, the most prominent of which is the Da Bao tower built in 1939 when he was only 30 years old, about 4 meters high and very sophisticatedly designed. The tower has 13 floors, each floor has 16 doors, each door has a Buddha statue, in total Da Bao tower has 208 doors, 208 Buddhas and around the tower there are 156 winding dragons flying into the sky. tall, protecting the tower. Bao Toa is the second unique building built in 1940, about 2 meters high. Above there is a lotus flower with 1000 petals in an octagonal shape, below there are 16 fairies standing as attendants. The base of the tower is shaped like 4 animals of the four sacred animals (unicorn, dragon, tortoise, phoenix) and 12 unique, lively and impressive fish transformed into dragons. Looking at this tower and lotus flower as a whole, visitors will immediately think of a talented sculptor who took advantage of Buddhist teachings to create statues that speak the Buddha's meaning. In the worship space above the ceiling, there is hanging a chandelier called "Luc Long Dang" also made of clay, consisting of three peaks with 6 curved dragons symbolizing the six provinces of the Southwest region, their tails bunched together. each other, heads sticking out in all directions. The dragon's body is made entirely of clay with many delicate details, so the weight is quite heavy. At the bottom of the lamp is an upside-down lotus that radiates its petals to the altar. The lotus petals are quite thin, but according to the passage of time, Luc Long Dang has not fallen or chipped at all. This is a rare artistic masterpiece and the last work of his life. Around the pagoda, contributing to guarding the system of Buddha statues, there are many animal statues also made of clay. The most prominent and sharpest is the pair of Kim Lans holding their heads high in front of the altar in the middle of the hall, holding pearls in their mouths. The feet resting on the ball look so majestic, plus the statues of Thanh Su, Bach Ho, Long Ma,... some are gentle and some are very majestic. Clay Pagoda is not only famous for its thousands of statues made of clay, but is also known to tourists for its four rather special pairs of giant candles. In the last years of his life, he temporarily stopped making statues and cast candles to erect them in the main halls of the temple. He bought pure, unadulterated wax from Saigon many times with his trusted disciples, chopped the wax into pieces, melted it, and then "cast" the lamp. Because these lamps were too large, Mr. Ngo Kim Tong could not find a suitable mold, so he used roofing iron to make the mold. Pour wax into a large pan and cook continuously for many days until the tube was full until noon. 2 meters high. After a month, the new pairs of candles were completely dry. When the mold was removed, these pairs of lamps naturally took on the wavy shape of corrugated iron sheets. After several months of continuously doing this, he was able to cast six large candles (3 pairs). ), each weighs 200 kg, each pair is estimated to burn continuously for more than 70 years and two small candles each weigh 100 kg. The pair of candles was lit on the full moon day of July 1970 since the day Mr. Ngo Kim Tong The tree has been burning continuously for more than 40 years and nearly 1/5 of the tree remains. The works made from clay created by Mr. Ngo Kim Tong more than 60 years ago are still intact over time. However, what all tourists and scientists cannot explain is that all of the most famous and strange works in the world were created by a monk. I just finished 3rd grade at the village school and don't know anything about the art of painting.

The pagoda's Khmer name is Wath Sro Loun. For ease of pronunciation, the word Sro Loun is spelled Sa Lon. Sro Loun originates from the word Chro Luong - the name of a canal running along the village road that used to be near the pagoda, and that name is also used to name the pagoda. In 1815, Chen Kieu Pagoda began to be built with materials like leaves, wood, soil... like many other Khmer pagodas. During the war, under the devastation of bombs and bullets, the main hall of the pagoda was seriously damaged. In 1969, the pagoda was rebuilt according to today's architecture, including: Main hall, sala, stupa, place for prayer books, etc. During the construction process, due to lack of materials, the monks came up with an idea. The idea is to donate cups and plates from people in Phum and Soc to put on the wall. This idea not only saves construction costs but also creates impressive decorative motifs. Since then, the pagoda has also been known by the people by its second name: "Chen Kieu Pagoda". Khmer artisans cleverly took advantage of these cups and plates to decorate the walls and towers, creating a harmonious and impressive architectural work. New items are placed directly on the wall, or made into convenient fences surrounding hallways or stair handrails, while broken or chipped items are arranged and assembled into decorative patterns. fancy. The first impression when entering the temple is the three-entrance gate with three towers carved with vibrant patterns and colors in the traditional Cambodian Angkor style. Among the three towers, the middle tower stands out with a glass cage inside, enshrining a majestic sitting Buddha statue. Surrounding the pagoda is a fence decorated with the image of the dancing goddess Apsara, symbolizing peace and prosperity. On both sides of the entrance gate are two stone lion statues, facing the street as if protecting the temple. On the gate wall are the words Khmer and national language: "Sa Lon Pagoda (Chen Kieu)".

The campus of Chen Kieu Pagoda is very large with many cool green trees, making visitors feel very comfortable. Like other Khmer pagodas, the roof of Chen Kieu Pagoda consists of 3 staggered roofs, the top roof being the smallest. At the edge of each roof layer there are decorative patterns, motifs, and traditional statues of Khmer culture, carrying the wish for peace and escape. The triangular roof is beautifully decorated like a colorful carpet exposed to the sky. The two ends of the knife on both sides are curved as if there is a spiritual communion with the savior of human souls, blessing and protecting sentient beings for peace and happiness. The most outstanding and impressive architecture on the facade of the main hall is the column heads decorated with the image of the winged goddess Kayno. These statues of the goddess Kayno are in a rising position to support the roof's fringe, creating a transition between the vertical direction of the columns and the horizontal direction of the roof. The main hall of the pagoda is spacious and airy, with 16 rows of large columns. Around the pillars are carved and embossed with images from Khmer cultural legends. On both sides of the wall are many paintings telling the story of Shakyamuni Buddha from birth until attainment of enlightenment. The walls and paintings are even more special when decorated and shaped with broken pieces of cups and plates. The worship space is a complex of 20 large and small Buddha statues, with many standing, lying, and sitting positions, arranged reasonably and artistically. The smoke of incense and the light of candles swaying with each gentle breeze make the already solemn temple even more solemn. In the middle of the courtyard of Chen Kieu Pagoda is a flagpole, with a vivid image of the Nagar snake spreading its 5 heads, referring to the legend of a snake spreading its head to protect the Buddha from the rain while he was meditating. The Nagar snake is an important decorative motif in Khmer Buddhist sculpture. The Khmer people of Soc Trang in particular and the South in general are influenced by Indian Buddhism, so Theravada Buddhism is the main religion that governs their spiritual life. That's why they only worship Shakyamuni Buddha, not other Bodhisattvas or Avalokiteshvara. Furthermore, Khmer people believe that their ancestors are snake mothers, so they worship snakes and snake images often appear in temples. Behind the pagoda is the Garden where Shakyamuni Buddha preached and entered Nirvana. This is an architectural complex consisting of many large and small Buddha statues, vividly simulating the process of birth, searching for truth, enlightenment until entering Nirvana of Buddha Shakyamuni.

Goods at the floating market are extremely diverse, especially fruits. According to each season, looking at the bustling boats and boats full of fruit, visitors will know which fruit is the main crop. One point that creates an unforgettable impression is when the sun rises, which is also the time when cargo boats spread out in many directions. Visitors will feel the rich flavors of rustic dishes, sold on small boats: hot porridge, vermicelli, noodles... or sip a cup of coffee and listen to the story of "Love". Mr. Selling Mat" is extremely interesting. From early morning, when the sky was still covered with a thin mist, hundreds of boats of people bustled here like a festival. We can encounter many different colors and sounds creating a bustling, cheerful atmosphere... The bright red color of rambutan, the bright yellow color of mangoes and the sweet aroma of durian... fresh fruits are picked during the day in time for the early market.

In addition, the market also has small boats selling food that skillfully weave their way through large boats. In 2002, Nga Bay floating market (Nga Bay town, Hau Giang) was moved to a location on Ba Ngan canal in Dai Thanh commune, about 3 km from the old location because the market was too busy and many vehicles were anchored. traffic safety, pollution... Since being moved to Ba Ngan canal, the market is no longer bustling and is gradually sinking into oblivion because of the scarcity of boats and boats, not meeting the sightseeing needs of tourists. The bustling image of buying and selling "on the wharf under the boat" in the past now only remains in the memories of the people here. To save the Nga Bay floating market and develop Hau Giang river and river tourism, in 2015 Hau Giang province invested in a road system, tourist wharf, power supply, lighting, and water supply and drainage systems. It is expected that after completion, Nga Bay floating market will be relocated to its old location to become a tourist highlight, not only for Nga Bay, but also for Hau Giang province.
