To view the Cai Rang floating market, where hundreds of boats come together to transact commerce, get on the Victoria Hotel's 'junk' in the morning and travel down the Mekong.
After that, you get on a smaller boat that will take you in and out of the marketplace, bringing the buying and selling process right up to you and giving you the option to participate.
You may have to go away from the main river to get to one of the numerous canals in the neighborhood, where a small, family-run noodle factory could be hiding.
You'll board small boats at 10 a.m. to return to Can Tho's main pier and start your day. Our day trip will begin around 6:15 a.m., so we may be in the market right when it opens.
