Cai Be

Cai Be floating market

On the Tien River, at the intersection of three provinces of Tien Giang, Vinh Long and Ben Tre, this floating market of Cai Be wholesale, in operation since the nineteenth century, under the Nguyen Dynasty, is one of the most famous delta.

It is the meeting point for traders from across the region and stretches for several kilometers, divided between buyers and sellers. The activity begins at 3am and forest poles that rise skyward door samples of goods sold over water.

Cai Be is bisected by the river, and even when a bridge was built, it is still considered a "street" integral part of the city.

At the market, large boats filled with meat, vegetables but especially fruit announce the color of their goods (durian, pineapple, rambutan, strawberries, lychees... ) by hanging a beautiful ripe sample of their production end of a long pole.

Thus, buyers, sailing on smaller boats do not need that cries to them what it is and near the boat that sells what they need. Transactions are above water and there will be some nice shots of fruit from ship to ship.
