Around 5 PM, the sky over Can Tho begins to gently descend into night, and at the same time, a vibrant hub of activity – Ninh Kieu Night Market – prepares to open. The sounds of food being served, laughter, and vendors calling out their wares fill the air with life, creating a lively scene along the Hau River.

Snacks, grilled seafood... everything can be found right in this night market.
Writer Dang Thien Phong shared: "If you ask me what impressed me most about this place, it would definitely be the generosity of the people here. That evening, we went to eat bun rieu (rice noodle soup) at the night market, and the owner gave us so many extra toppings. A bowl of bun rieu overflowing with meatballs and meat, delicious and as generous as the people here."

Exploring Can Tho at night and meeting its warm-hearted people gave him many more firsthand experiences.
"I believe that if you give, you will receive even more in return. Just like the people here, they are always willing to give hospitality and generosity, and in return they receive much more: satisfaction and repeat visits from tourists," writer Dang Thien Phong enthusiastically shared.
