Ninh Kiều

Ninh Kiều is an urban district in Cần Thơ that stretches along the Bassac River and contains numerous shops and government buildings. The area comprises several connected wards serving as the city's commercial and administrative center.

The district grew from a strategic trading hub that transformed into a central administrative zone from the late 1700s onward. This development reflects the expansion and rising importance of Cần Thơ across the region.

Markets throughout the district display Vietnamese food traditions through the sale of fresh vegetables, seafood, and regional cooking styles that visitors can observe in shops and restaurants daily.

The district connects to main roads through the Cần Thơ Bridge and allows direct access to waterways across the Mekong Delta. Visitors can explore the zone by road or boat depending on their preference.

The riverside area contains multiple interconnected markets where vendors conduct business directly from boats during morning hours. These floating markets come alive with activity and activity in the early part of the day.
