Rural products such as snakehead, perch, and snakeskin gourami are sold at the Vi Thanh market in ward 3, Vi Thanh town. The locals call the market “squatting” one because vendors often squat or arrange small chairs and goods within two to four square meters around themselves. It is held from dawn and the busiest between 6 and 7 a.m.

Apart from seeing peaceful landscapes and savoring rural specialties, tourists can enjoy Đờn ca tài tử.

Đờn ca tài tử is an indispensable part of the spiritual activity and cultural heritage of the people of southern Viet Nam. The music and songs evoke the people’s life and work on the land and rivers of the Mekong Delta region. Performed at numerous events such as festivals, death anniversary rituals and celebrations, Đờn ca tài tử is thus intimately connected with other cultural practices and customs, oral traditions and handicrafts.

Tuan Anh is also keen on taking photos of traditional craft villages.
