Floating Markets - Mekong Delta
Floating markets are held every morning from 5:00 to about 11:00. Phung Hiep market is the biggest since it is located at the intersection of 7 major canals. It is also a photographer's delight because it can be seen above from a bridge. Cai Rang and Phong Dien are two other notable floating markets in the delta. Boats loaded with produce from nearby orchards of the Mekong Delta converge to the floating market. They carry mostly fruits but also coconuts, vegetables and fishes. Buyers are local traders with bigger boats snapping everything by the bushels and resell at local markets or to wholesale dealers from big cities, often for a handsome profit.

Hire a bike and cycle along country path to see daily life of local people. It is worth doing.

This small Chinese pagoda is known for its rafters of figurines. Also of note are the lacquered columns and the huge incense coils inside.

This was included in the tour instead of the stork farm, due to the bird flu risk. Hundreds of crocodiles are residing here although I'm assuming they are not there to meet a happy ending :o(

I'm not sure exactly where this was taken- somewhere around Can Tho I think. Theres a great array of old vehicles on the roads as well as the cyclos and many motorbikes.

The markets are fascinating to browse around. I generally had no idea what the produce was on sale but did manage to sample some unusual fruits.
