Floating markets are held every morning from 5:00 to about 11:00. Cai Rang Floating 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 Ran are two other notable floating markets in the delta.
