| Floating Markets in South-West Vietnam
|
|
|
It is called “floating market” for an obvious reason. On a vast and boundless water surface, hundreds of boats, big and small, gather together and create a floating place for trading activities. The market is on all day, but is most spirited in the early morning. Boats of different sizes and shapes thread their way along the waterway in an atmosphere of truly high-spirited, fun filled, yet businesslike purchasing and bargaining, sellers and buyers bellowing over the noisy boat engines. |

| Thanh Toan Rural Market
|
|
|
No one knows for sure if the location of the rural market in Thanh Toan, Thuy Thanh Commune, Thanh Thuy District, Hue City was intentionally picked or if the market simple just came into being. Nevertheless, the market is in a prime spot, right at the head of a tile-roofed bridge, in front of the communal house and wharfs leading to the Nhu Y River and overlooked by an ancient banyan tree. On the other side of the river is a field of yellow rice, all creating romantic countryside landscape. |
