Visit a floating market: Floating markets in the Mekong Delta have been formed from trading and exchanging goods of locals for a very long time. As a result, visiting a floating market may be the most authentic way to experience the everyday life of the people inhabiting the Mekong River Basin. Cai Be and Cai Rang are two most popular floating markets that a Mekong Delta river cruise will take you to.
