Actor Quoc Truong invites you to visit Cai Rang floating market.

Beginning their journey on Tuesday morning, the members of Amazing Tour 8 traveled to Cai Rang Floating Market – a unique "specialty" of the Mekong Delta. Located in Cai Rang District, Can Tho City, Cai Rang Floating Market is about 30 minutes by speedboat from Ninh Kieu Wharf. The floating market is a unique cultural feature reflecting the daily life and transportation of Can Tho. Despite the development of road transportation, the vibrant and bustling floating market culture continues to captivate visitors.

Actor Quoc Truong, a true native of the "land of white rice and clear water," shared: "Although I'm from Can Tho, this is only my second time visiting Cai Rang floating market. For me, it's a novel feeling mixed with a little nostalgia and emotion because it's a unique characteristic of this riverine region."

At Cai Rang floating market, the members of Amazing Tour 8 enjoyed the fresh air, the cool breeze of the river blending with the sound of oars and waves lapping against the boat.

Boats laden with goods, from fruits and vegetables to food and household items, are hung on poles. This bustling scene of trade right on the waterway is a unique characteristic of the Western region of Vietnam.

The entire Amazing Tour 8 group will surely never forget the feeling of sitting on a boat floating on Cai Rang floating market to enjoy a steaming bowl of bun rieu (crab noodle soup). In addition, the members also got to sample many kinds of specialty fruits from the Mekong Delta.

"I was most impressed by having breakfast on the boat. It was a bit bumpy, but it was a very interesting experience. This is my hometown, but I think nowhere else has such a unique culture," the actor said excitedly.

Not only impressed by the bustling atmosphere of Cai Rang floating market, actor Quoc Truong also developed a fondness for his compatriots while chatting on the boats: "I found the people here to be very genuine, honest, and lovely. When talking to them, I felt their sincerity, which is hard to find anywhere else, especially in people far from home."

"I hope tourists will make a stop in Can Tho, especially at Cai Rang floating market. Everyone will have a truly unique experience, especially feeling the warmth and friendliness of the people of the Mekong Delta. That's what I'm most proud of about my hometown," actor Quoc Truong shared.
