Walking into the busy Cai Chanh Market, one highlight of all Mekong Can Tho Fair Tours may be pretty much an adventure to your senses. Skilfully, the market divides itself neatly into distinctively different sections, each offering another thing and kind that is different for visitors on their Mekong Tours.
Fresh Produce section: a riot of colors from locally grown fruits and vegetables, fresh from the rich lands of the Mekong Delta. Wander deeper and you’ll be assailed by the aroma of the Dried Goods section: three busy stalls with dried fish, shrimp, and rare spices that perfectly capture the essence of the area. For the dose of tradition, go to the Traditional Crafts area, where artisans showcase hand-woven mats and beautiful handicrafts for keepsakes. Don’t forget to check the Street Food stalls-they provide fresh mékong dishes called banh xeo and hu tieu.
Going to the market in the morning will give you a real taste of energy at Cai Chanh Market, as everything is full of energy and noise. If you like a quiet environment, then the afternoon roadside stalls will be perfect for you to walk around and discover in a relaxed manner.
