Cái Răng Floating Market

Cái Răng Floating Market, located about six kilometers from Cần Thơ city center, is the largest and most famous floating market in the Mekong Delta. Every morning, hundreds of boats converge to trade fruits, vegetables, and local specialties. Vendors display their goods on long poles, making it easy for buyers to see what's on offer. Visitors can hop on a small boat to weave through the crowd, sample tropical fruits, and watch the lively bartering. The market is best experienced at dawn when activity peaks and the river comes alive.

Don't miss

• Arrive early (around 6 AM) to see the market at its busiest with boats packed with colorful produce.
• Taste fresh tropical fruits like durian, rambutan, and mangosteen sold directly from vendor boats.
• Observe the unique 'bẹo' system where sellers hang sample items on a pole to advertise their wares.
