Cai Rang floating market is located on a branch of the Hau River running through Cai Rang ward, Can Tho city, and specialises in the trading of agricultural produce and local specialities from Can Tho and neighbouring provinces. More than a distinctive cultural space, the floating market is a signature tourism product of the city, attracting large numbers of domestic and international visitors.
Cai Rang Floating Market is a top tourism destination in Can Tho city, where local and foreign tourists go to learn about the colourful life on the river.
The People Committee of Can Tho city has approved a project to preserve and develop the Cai Rang floating market with the aim of making it a favourite destination for international and domestic tourists in the Mekong Delta region, a local official has said.
The Mekong Delta province of Hau Giang is developing eco-tourism products based on its rivers, fruit orchards, and rural sights and life, according to its Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
The education fair held since the beginning of April at Thailand’s government floating market ‘Khlong Padung Krung Kasem’ put in circulation over 12 million THB (roughly 341,680 USD).
