Welcome to the heart of the Mekong Delta, where life goes with every wave of the river and tradition is alive on the water! Join our Three Day Tour Through the Mekong to Cai Rang and My Khanh with Mekong Tours and you will get a fat chance to discover two out of all the iconic destinations in this region: Cai Rang Floating Market and My Khanh Village. Let’s find out what makes these places so special!
Cai Rang Floating Market
The Cai Rang Floating Market was not made for just another market; it is the living part of the Mekong Delta culture and heritage, established over 100 years ago to function as a non-central trading venue for traders and locals for barter against goods, especially fresh produce, right off their boats. Eventually, even today, this remains one of the immense and dynamic Mekong Delta markets. Every day, throngs of visitors swarm there to behold this form of trading.
Right from dawn, the whole market comes to life. You will hear running motors, vendors selling their products, and waves from the river against the wooden boats. Indeed, here you will realize the real Vietnam floating markets. Seeing the “bẹo" system goods advertised by hanging them on tall poles for all to see is a fascinating sight and a clever way for vendors to communicate amidst the noisy bustle. Imagine eating a great breakfast out on the river, dining on a steaming bowl of noodles as your boat weaves through a maze of colorful produce, and soaking in the lively atmosphere. It’s a morning unlike any other!
My Khanh Village
After the most evocative atmosphere of the Cai Rang Floating Market, take a comforting pause at My Khanh Village. This quaint little village gives one a truly Vietnamese rural life, where tradition and serenity are intertwined. Famed to be rich in cultural heritage, it will somehow create a tempo of timelessness with its well-preserved remains that reintroduce ancient houses and genuinely rustic village life.
Visiting these traditional houses at My Khanh Village, it can be witnessed how each of them portrays something about the regional history and architecture. Learn from the villagers about rice paper making, fruit carving, and all the other great stuff that will help in continuing to experience the rich tapestry of culture here in the Mekong Delta. The village is also famous for folk performances that can be watched with traditional music and ancestral dance flows.

I will highly recommend Impress Travel for anyone interested in visiting Vietnam. Very organized and reliable!
I booked with Impress Travel in July. My contact person was Tommy Thang. He is an amazing person. He was very helpful. He changed my program twice for me. Very accommodating!
