Chợ nổi Cái Răng

Why go

Vietnam's Department of Cultural Heritage lists 'Văn hóa Chợ nổi Cái Răng', the culture of the Cái Răng floating market, as national intangible cultural heritage in the category of social practices and beliefs, by Ministry decision 829/QĐ-BVHTTDL of 10 March 2016. The Vietnam National Authority of Tourism describes Cần Thơ's floating markets as markets of boats laden with produce and names Cái Răng among them. This record is the market on the river, not Cái Răng ward or the former district of that name, and the point is a representative point on the water, not a pier. When trading takes place, and who runs boat trips to it, were not read. XTOUR lists it as a place reached from Cần Thơ.
