Start from the early morning, leave Can Tho to make our way up the river to the market at Cai Rang, which is about 6km away. It's one of the most photogenic spots you'll find in Vietnam. If anything, a boat trip is a great experience to have a somewhat more personal experience on the market because it really is a memorable and fascinating adventure. You will see bustling activities along the riverbanks as well as how they transport passengers and goods by the waterway. Arrive in Cai Rang floating market, you will notice an interesting "way of advertising" by hanging products that they offer on a pole. To understand more about local lifestyle, keep on cruising into smaller canal. Disembark to visit Binh Thuy Temple and the 135 year Binh Thuy House.
Next, drive to Tra Uoi village. Here you'll have chance to see the craftsman making and knitting bamboo baskets, bamboo fishing nets...
Have lunch at a local restaurant.
After lunch, visit a crocodile farm in Long Xuyen city then continue driving toward Chau Doc.
Take a boat trip to visit a floating village where they grow fish underneath the houses. After the fishing village the boatman will cross the river and we walk to the land based Cham village with its houses on stilts and Signs in Arabic on the walls. We visit a couple of weaving co-operatives which are producing beautiful hand made scarfs and sarongs in a cotton and silk mixture. Sure, watching the women create these intricate patterns on an antique wooden hand loom will be incredible.
Next, take a look at their Muslim temple and the Arabic class for children.
