Cai Be Township lies along the Upper Mekong River and serves as a popular gateway for travelers embarking on boat journeys to Vinh Long after a shuttle transfer from Ho Chi Minh City. Rich in cultural heritage, the town is home to numerous historic houses that once belonged to wealthy landlords, as well as traditional family-run workshops producing local handicrafts and regional delicacies. One of Cai Be’s most fascinating attractions is its vibrant floating market. The market reaches its peak activity around 6:00 a.m., when wholesalers gather on large boats filled with fresh fruits, vegetables, and agricultural products from across the Mekong Delta. To advertise their goods, vendors hang samples high on tall wooden poles, allowing buyers to identify products from a distance. This colorful and distinctive trading practice creates a lively riverside spectacle and offers visitors a unique glimpse into the enduring traditions of river commerce that have shaped life in the Mekong Delta for generations.
