Phong Dien Floating Market
Chợ nổi Phong Điền
A smaller, more traditional floating market than Cái Răng, mostly selling fruit grown by local farmers, with fewer visitors.
Phong Dien Floating Market is on the Can Tho River in Phong Dien district, about 17 km southwest of Can Tho city. Farmers paddle small boats here to sell fruit and vegetables they grow themselves. It is small and less commercial, closer to traditional river life. It is busiest from about 5:00 to 7:00 in the morning and quickly winds down after sunrise. You can charter a boat from Ninh Kieu Wharf and go via Cái Răng (about 5–6 hours round trip), or take a taxi to the Phong Dien town wharf and rent a small boat there. Nearby are orchards and cycling routes through the river villages.
Opening hours
