Top 3 things must see in Can Tho City

After a long festive holiday, and with hope of a prosperous year of the Snake, the City Pass Guide team has decided to celebrate the New Year together on the Bassac Cruise in Mekong Delta and in Can Tho City. CAI RANG FLOATING MARKET – VIBRANT LIFE IN THE MEKONG DELTA

Even though I have travelled to the area five times, Can Tho always makes me feel excited when I return. For those who are wondering why and how Can Tho can attract a travel addict, here are my answers:
CAN THO BRIDGE
Can Tho BridgeCan Tho Bridge is the only gateway to access the city from the Northern provinces. It is currently the longest main span cable-stayed bridge in Southeast Asia and ranks 24th in the world. You will easily recognize its special red colour as soon as your car approaches it. At night, the bridge is lit up with hundreds of lamplights making it a must see from Ninh Kieu wharf.  South Vietnam tours

Local insight: If you’d like to take picture of Can Tho Bridge, ask your driver to pull over at the first crossroads after reaching the end on the Can Tho side.

NINH KIEU WHARF
Ninh Kieu WharfCan Tho city is famous for its Ninh Kieu wharf where most visitors go. The old Ninh Kieu port was extremely busy during the war period but it is now a peaceful and poetic part of the region. Ninh Kieu wharf is always ready to service visitors who desire to visit the floating market, enjoy special “river” food or just observe the routine of locals on the Mekong Delta. It takes around 30 minutes and the cost varies from 50,000-100,000 VND per person to transfer from Ninh Kieu wharf to Cai Rang floating market. Au Co Cruise – Halong Travel

Local insight: For those who are late for the early boat, you can take a bus for 5,000 VND, a taxi for 70,000VND or a Xe ôm for 15,000VND to reach Cai Rang Bridge and turn onto Vo Tanh street to rent a small boat for 50,000 – 70,000 VND depending on junk or motorboat.

CAI RANG FLOATING MARKET
Cai Rang floating MarketThe market is crowded in the early morning. It was my mistake to leave for Cai Rang floating market at 5.00 a.m. I did not see the lively market that I had imagined. I was also unable to take a picture of the breathtaking sunrise at Cai Rang floating market.

This time I will set off at 6:00a.m to see barges heaped with different soils, wooden fishing boats, single long boats overflowing with fresh products and large boats packed with fellow sleepy-eyed tourists. All this traffic devoted to commerce. Often your tourist boat will take you to a big floating house close to the river bank but don’t buy anything here. Ask your guide to take you to the middle of the crowds where the locals gather to buy and sell.

Local insight: Try some chitterling gruel from vendors on small boats for cheaper prices and better quality

Those are top 3 main things that I love about Can Tho City. I will take this chance to check out the Bassac Cruise and give my own feedback and consider whether it could be my fourth main thing to do when I find myself in Can Tho again.
