[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I take this photo when I was in a holiday in the Mekong Delta,last February, from Ho Chi Minh to Phu Quoc island, visiting Vinh Long and Can Tho. In Can Tho we spent 3 days.
The second day we hire a small boat to go to Phong Dien floating market. It's about 20 Km south-west from Can Tho.
It takes about 2 hours. We left early at 6 am in a foggy morning (I will upload a photo), because the best time to visit the market is from 6 to 8.
We visited other two floating markets: Cai Rang (6 km from Can Tho),and Kai Be (near Vinh Long).
I liked Phong Dien market much more than the others, because it's smaller and less tourist, with rowing boats.

Please feed viewers with correct names on location, since they may base on your info to map out their plan for next visit.

Having Phong Dien (of ThuaThien/Hue province which is in the central area of VN) within the Mekong Delta is similar to telling Rome located in Sardinia Island.

Thank you.
