Detail Itinerary for Cai Rang Floating Market in Can Tho 1-Day Tour | Son Islet Community-Based Tourism
One of the most impressive markets in the world by the UK's Rough Guide, Cai Rang Floating Market is the most famous and biggest floating market in Can Tho city Mekong Delta. Can Tho seems to be a bustling city, with a stream of commerce flowing continuously down the Hau River. But treat yourself to a room on its leafy banks, dine on its sun-ripened fruits and fresh river fish, glide on sampans through its sultry canals, and you’ll soon realize Can Tho’s big city facade is just half the story. The other half? Misty sunrises over the water, lazy afternoons swaying in a hammock, and balmy evenings announced by a chorus of insects. Under the Mekong Delta’s blazing blue skies, Can Tho leaves a vivid impression.
