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.

On the other side of the river is a field of yellow rice, all creating romantic countryside landscape.
