Cai Rang floating market was formed in the early 20th century, is the busiest floating market in the Mekong Delta, mainly trading agricultural products, fruits and specialties of the region. This is also the market that was voted by the travel magazine Rough Guide (UK) as one of the 10 most impressive markets in the world.
Cai Rang Floating Market is located downstream of Can Tho River, about 600m from Cai Rang Bridge, about 6km from the city center. With its location on the waterway of Hau river - Xa No canal, it has created favorable conditions for trade and trade with neighboring localities and the whole Mekong Delta. Every day, there are about a few hundred boats to buy wholesale agricultural products from Can Tho as well as neighboring provinces: Hau Giang, Soc Trang, Bac Lieu, Vinh Long, Ca Mau; Many small boats buy and retail fruits, ornamental flowers, handicrafts, local cuisine along with a few hundred turns of boats carrying tourists to visit at peak hours.
At the floating market, with the characteristics of buying and selling on the river, a very unique offering culture has been formed. People use a bamboo pole to stick it in front of the ship and hang the goods to be sold on it, which is called a "bamboo tree". From a distance, shoppers can observe and know which boats are selling what, thereby accessing and negotiating easily. This is an extremely effective and creative form of offering. The image of the palm tree has become a cultural feature of the river region and contributes to creating the scene of the floating market with hundreds of boats and boats close together more vivid and colorful.
