Tourism: in Vietnam, buyers and sellers travel by boat to the Long Xuyên floating market

Of all the floating markets in the Mekong Delta, that of Long Xuyên (Vietnam) is undoubtedly the most authentic. Far from the tourists, hundreds of fruit and vegetable wholesalers come to sell their products every day to traders in the surrounding villages. A colorful market that wakes up every day at dawn. In this market, you have to know how to negotiate. Customers follow one another and always want to lower prices.

Long’s market specialty Xuyenthese are his fish. This arm of the Mekong has a dozen fishing villages, which resell their catches on the market. A nourishing river on which also sail vendors of noodle soup, the traditional Vietnamese pho. The bowls are prepared on site, on request. Around noon, when the market closes, fruit and vegetable buyers go to a hall on the mainland. This is where they sell their products bought on the river.
