The Cai Rang floating market in the early morning.

Agricultural produce hung on bamboo poles, displaying products offered by each boat.

Each big boat has a small boat to carry agricultural producers to the market.

Goods can be bought with money or by bartering goods.

Specialties of the southwestern people – banh xeo, banh cong (southern cakes) and fruits – lit by a pineapple lamp.

Don ca tai tu (folk songs of the southern people) are invaluable.

Releasing lanterns into the river for good luck.
