Personally, I find life in Cai Rang floating market serene and lively at the same time. Our family set foot in this friendly land and we were so happy to have an unforgettable experience at one of the floating market Mekong which is widely promoted in social networks.
Tien Giang, the city representing one of the major economies in the North of Vietnam, also hides a real floating market Mekong that is worth seeing. Considering the oldest floating market Mekong, Cai Be floating market has already existed in Vietnam since the traffic system was primitive. It is linked to the culture of the residents because all the goods activities take place here every day and the lively atmosphere still made us mesmerize fascinating stories in each Mekong day trip.

I find that Cai Be floating market carries a diversity of traditional activities such as mud bath festival, which marks the beginning of New Year in Vietnam. I can’t believe it because they were positively chaotic but I assure you that this experience still lives in my heart.
An Giang, a city previously oriented in the tourism sector, counts its rank in the most pleasant destinations by the survey from the previous tourists during Vietnam package tours. Moreover, the Long Xuyen floating market is not too crowded like other floating markets Mekong because it is not yet too exploited. So, you can enjoy it with the opening from 5 am to 10 am, it will be more suitable if you enjoy it from 5 am to 7 am thanks to the impressive dawn in the riverside region of Vietnam. However, you have to choose a faithful pier to visit there but do not worry because you will find below the rowers in full of experiences through the opinion of a customer who booked the Vietnam trip 2 weeks and who also deepened the Chau Doc - An Giang Travel Guide.
I still kept the phone number of a rower who had taken us to the Long Xuyen River. Although he didn't understand any French but our guide did a good job of interpreting and we got along well. In my opinion, Long Xuyen floatting market is still primitive and it is its serenity that struck me during my Mekong day trip. By the way, here is his phone number: 0932944419 - Mr. Ba Do.
Phong Dien floating market, another Mekong floating market that is also famous and visited by many tourists. However, do you know where this beautiful place is located?, you will find some notable sites surrounding it like Ba Hien fruit garden or Ba Cong fruit garden or maybe also the Binh Thuy old house. Then, you have the answer, it is Can Tho where it is located, so it is an alternative choice if you would like to avoid the vibrant atmosphere of Cai Rang floating market because it still keeps the authenticity of the almost nostalgic villages in the South of Vietnam.
I can assure you that Phong Dien floating market is worth seeing after experiencing it . At first, we intend to visit Mekong floating market in another city but the crew of advisor gave us a more reasonable and affordable advice and it turns out to be the best choice for us
Ca Mau, a city that is also the pearl of the South in Vietnam, has a lot of potential for tourism, seaside and exported products that are well consumed abroad such as tropical fruits. Ca Mau floating market also has a nice atmosphere because the residents are known for their friendliness. If you have the opportunity to see it, the goods here are hung on trees called “Bẹo” for visitors to see and buy. This floating market Mekong has existed since the appearance of the Mekong Delta. Although you may ask questions such as “What to do in Mekong Delta ?” or “What to visit in Ca Mau ?”, the answer is already there and the rafts in the river also mean the culture of life of its residents for you to contemplate.
After visiting Ho Chi Minh, I discovered a place that is really cool and the Ca Mau floating market surprises me with its beauty. I can buy such good fruits like dragon fruit, mango, rambutan with prices so much cheaper than in the Asian supermarket at home. A kilo of Vietnamese mangoes about 13 euros per kilogram but at this floating market Mekong, it costs only 1 euro per kilogram and its flavor was exquisite.
