Cái Bè

Cái Bè is a rural district in the Mekong Delta where waterways and small canals weave through the landscape, connecting villages and farmland. The area features fields along the banks, simple houses built on the water's edge, and wooden boats that serve as daily transportation.

The region developed over centuries as the Mekong's waterways drew people to settle in this fertile area and build communities along the banks. Gradual settlement created a network of channels and villages that still characterizes the landscape today.

The floating market here shows how trade happens directly from boats, with vendors using long poles to display their goods to passing customers. This way of buying and selling is deeply rooted in daily life and connects families to their river heritage.

The floating market is most active in early morning when boats gather to trade produce and local goods. Arriving early helps you see the full activity before the sun becomes intense and the crowds disperse.

Local families make traditional coconut candy by extracting the pulp, boiling it with sugar, and cutting it into small pieces. This handmade process is a specialty of the area and often overlooked by visitors passing through.
