The fl
oating markets, among other typical cultural features of Can Tho City, will be reinstated in the Vietnam National Village for Ethnic Culture and Tourism in Son Tay town, Hanoi, from November 18th to 24th, as part of the “National great unity-Vietnam cultural heritage” week.
At the well-known Phong Dien and Cai Rang floating markets, people can trade goods, fruits and many kinds of commodities on boats, and enjoy delicious foods.
Floating markets are often more crowded in the early morning and quieter in the afternoon and evening. They are closely linked to the daily life and cultural activities of local people in Can Tho City in particular, and the southwestern region of Vietnam in general.
