Phong Dien Floating Market features

The market starts very early in the morning and is the noisiest around from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m., and it disperses after 9 a.m. but is still held until the afternoon because this market is not only available for business and agricultural products but also because tourists who visit this location later in the morning can still explore this unique floating market whenever they arrive.

Locals used tiny wooden boats and motor boats to transport their produce, such as fruits and large and flat baskets….to conduct commerce… A visitor to the Cai Rang Floating Market may note numerous distinctions between the two floating markets.

This floating market offers not only agricultural items and working instruments but also a petrol station and roving factories…because they are open land, this market always brings a lot of special feeling for tourists to come at any season of the year.
