Can Tho's floating markets

You can see ordinary yet no less interesting images of local people trading on the river, with boats full of food, vegetable and especially fruits.

The pace of life is both fast and peaceful.

"Beo" ,or signal stick, is a popular kind of 'store sign', showing which goods the boat sells by hanging a sample of it on a tall stick.

Vegetables are on sale, too.

Can Tho has recently been announced "One of the most beautiful canal cities in the world" by CNN Travelers.
