  • The floating markets are a lively place where many goods are exchanged. Cai Rang floating market is the main wholesale floating market near Can Tho. Go there early (after 6 am) and watch the action. Its hundreds of merchant, buyers, and tourists all moving at the same time. You can tell what each boat is selling by what is attached to the pole on each merchant ship. Friendly locals will try to sell you food or drinks. The floating market can be visited on small boats for about $3 per hour. You may take a tour from the Ninh Kieu pier where the "boat ladies" are always eager to charm you into taking theirs.

    Things To Do: Rice Paper Factory
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • An interesting stop involves a visit to a rice paper factory. Almost all multi-day tours from HCMC include them. They take you through the whole process of making rice paper. It is made from a batter of rice flour, water and salt. The paper is steamed, then dried on bamboo racks.
