7 am: Arrive at Ninh Kieu pier, start your boat trip on Hau River to Cai Rang Floating Market, the biggest floating market beginning from sunrise to late morning, but it is busiest from 8 to 10 am. The shops and stalls at the market are local boats of different sizes, and the main items sold are farm products and specialities of Cai Rang Town and neighbouring areas. Wholesale is the main form of trading in this market.
As your boat edges through the market, you will be driven back to the yester-centuries by the sound of bargaining, rowing, and motoring mixed with the sound made from the coffee boats, meat boats, grocery boats, and iceboats. Your breakfast today is local style with a bowl of noodle soup.
