Cai Rang floating market in February and Tet Holiday

February is the month of the spring and also the time for Tết holiday – Lunar New Year in Vietnam. We want to show you how the Cai Rang floating market looks like during this time. The stunning sunrise is at 6:15 AM which makes the market look so beautiful and colorful. The climate is perfect this time of year in Can Tho to be enjoyable for warm weather travelers. The average high during this season is between 31°C (87.8°F) and 21°C (69.8°F). On average, it rains an insignificant amount. These times of year are the busiest with tourists. Top Tip: During the Lunar New Year, many boats at the floating market will go back to their homeland for family reunion and Tết holiday for a few days.
