Cai Rang Floating Market in Can Tho City is one of the most vibrant and iconic floating markets in the Mekong Delta, embodying the distinctive riverine culture of southern Vietnam. Located on the Can Tho River, about 6 kilometers from the city center and a 30-minute boat ride from Ninh Kieu Wharf, the market was established in the early 20th century and is known for trading agricultural produce, fruits, and local specialties.

Recognized as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage since 2016, Cai Rang Floating Market is not only a trading hub but also a fascinating cultural destination that reflects the livelihood and traditions of people whose lives are closely tied to the waterways of the South.

The market takes place at the confluence of the Cai Rang and Hau rivers — a location ideal for docking and exchanging goods. Today, in addition to agricultural products, vendors also sell household items, local food, and daily necessities, offering visitors a lively glimpse into the authentic, warm, and bustling life of the Mekong Delta.
