There are many things to do in Vinh Long. From the islets, homestay, farmstay, pop rice factory, Mekong river cruise, sampan ride…Tra On floating market is one of the secret things to explore Vinh Long’s off the beaten paths. Today is January 7th, 2021, we would like to unlock the tiny Tra On floating market. We guess this one is going to disappear very soon. But it is pretty interesting to know why and good to see if you ever take a scooter tour or just want to be an insider of the Mekong Delta.

We were at 6:15 am at Tra On floating market. We enjoyed watching the rooster with the golden time from Vinh Long river.
There are only 4 boats at Tra On floating market. Sampans sometimes come and get coconuts and bananas from these 4 boats.

The locals just pass by and collect some fruits and then go back to islets or the mainland.
Tra On market on the mainland is where all boats prefer to anchor and trade more than on the river.

Best time to visit Cai Be floating market is from 5:30am-6:30am. I hope you have an amazing sunrise on the Mekong Delta river.

You can stay in a homestay which is near the floating market, this will help you out the best option. Then you can hire a scooter, car or bike and explore it by yourself, but you still need to hire a boat for the Cai Be floating market.
