There is a bridge here that serves as a great vantage point for photography. The market is best before 9am, although some vendors hang out until noon. Cai Rang can be seen from the road, but getting here is far more interesting by boat. From the market area in Can Tho it takes about an hour by river. After that, you will be taken to see a traditional noodle factory. At there, you can explore how people make noodle in person with simple machines. Then, your boat will ahead to Phong Dien Floating market. Perhaps the best floating market in the Mekong Delta, Phong Dien has fewer motorised craft and more stand-up rowing boats.

You can visit the small canals on the way and stopping a while for walking. Then, your trip will stop at a fruit garden where you can enjoy Vietnamese dishes and try monkey bridge. The trip will finish back at the Cai Rang floating market. This journey should take approximately seven hours return from Can Tho.
