• Cai Be Floating Market - The Mekong Delta gained international recognition during what locals refer to as the anti-American War. The Delta is also renowned for its floating markets, such as the Cai Be Floating Market.

Situated in the middle of the Tien River, it borders three provinces: Vinh Long, Tien Giang, and Ben Tre.

For those with limited time, a Mekong Delta tour to Cai Be Floating Market offers a glimpse into the essence of Vietnam. Along the journey, travelers can admire the expansive green paddy fields stretching to the horizon (a 2-hour drive).

Upon arrival at Cai Be, visitors will board a boat to explore the lush vegetation of the Mekong Delta and the vibrant floating market. Following this, guests can enjoy a delightful boat ride through the maze of shady canals to reach a local orchard and savor fresh tropical fruits. Regarding attire, most performers of “đờn ca tài tử” are friends and neighbors, often wearing everyday clothes during performances. In the Southern region, the primary attire is the “áo bà ba,” a traditional costume unique to the Vietnam Mekong River. In recent years, to cater to visitors, traditional music groups have formed several clubs. Besides their regular jobs, they perform upon request, helping listeners connect with the songs’ content. They possess a remarkable ability to internalize songs, enhancing listeners’ understanding of Vietnam’s southern land, characterized by its intricate river systems. For generations, images of local boats, wherries, rivers, and bridges have been deeply familiar to the locals. From birth, they are immersed in the vast sky and land. As they grow, they navigate bamboo bridges, fish, cast nets, and transport goods to market, all while remaining closely tied to the expansive waters. “Đờn ca tài tử” songs vividly express the Southern people’s emotions through depictions of rivers and boats, profoundly impacting listeners’ souls. This traditional music provides relaxation after a long day of work.

Additionally, visitors can observe the daily activities of local handicraft villages. A break for lunch at the orchard fruit garden offers a delightful experience. From there, guests can enjoy a leisurely bicycle ride to nearby villages or kayak along the Mekong River banks to explore local life, take in the scenery, or relax in a hammock.
