What makes this experience unique?
Nestled in Long Xuyên City, An Giang province, Chợ Nổi Long Xuyên stands out as one of the few floating markets in the Mekong Delta that retains its pristine charm, largely untouched by mass tourism. Unlike other bustling markets, it offers a more authentic and simple atmosphere, truly reflecting the daily life of local people. A defining feature is the 'cây bẹo' culture – tall poles from which sellers hang samples of their produce, making it easy for buyers to spot what's on offer. The rhythmic sounds of boats, lively calls, and the fragrant mix of ripe fruits and rustic cuisine create a vivid scene, inviting visitors to experience a slower pace of life and discover the unique cultural identity of this region.
What you'll get to experience with us
Chợ Nổi Long Xuyên is a vibrant floating market on the Hậu River, where boats bustling with trade preserve the unique 'cây bẹo' culture and the authentic spirit of the Mekong Delta.
