Can Tho Ancient Market Hall
Chợ Cổ Cần Thơ
A French colonial-era market building on the Hau River's edge, renovated into a handicraft and specialty store, a historic landmark of Can Tho.
The old market was built in the early 20th century during the French colonial period and was one of Can Tho's earliest markets. The building has arched windows and carved eaves. Restored in 2015, it now sells handicrafts, Mekong specialties, coconut candy and coffee, and the second floor has a restaurant overlooking the Hau River. Admission is free and it is open roughly 8:00–22:00. It is right beside Ninh Kieu Wharf and the night market, and prices can be bargained down slightly.
