Traveling to Can Tho for the Cai Rang floating market?

Most people I’ve spoken to travel to Can Tho for the Cai Rang floating market. Many pictures are shared of it online, it is featured in influencer videos and reels… but it doesn’t actually look like that. Not anymore. The importance of this wholesale! market on the river is falling and it’s falling fast. Locals told me it might not even exist anymore within the next five years.
