1. Where is Phong Dien Floating Market? When is it open?
Located in Phong Dien Commune in Can Tho (formerly Nhon Ai Commune), about 17 kilometers away from the city center, Phong Dien Floating Market is a well-known attraction in the Mekong Delta. Originally situated at the junction where the Can Tho River branches off from the Hau River, it has since moved about 800 meters downstream along the KH9 canal. The market opens early at dawn and is most active between 7 AM and 8 AM, then gradually quiets after 9 AM. Unlike Cai Rang Floating Market which quiets down completely, Phong Dien Floating Market continues into the afternoon with a more laid-back vibe.

2. What is unique at Phong Dien Floating Market?
Along with Cai Rang, Phong Dien Floating Market is one of the top floating markets in Can Tho, reflecting the unique culture of the Mekong Delta. A highlight here is the beo hang tradition, where goods are hung from a long pole on each boat to show what’s for sale – no shouting, just visual cues. Some boats now use modern signs or banners to promote their goods. A special version, beo la ban ghe, signals that the boat itself is for sale using a roofing leaf. Mobile vendors often use hand-held or foot-operated horns to attract attention, adding to the charm of this vibrant market.
