Time To Visit
Venture into the Mekong Delta to discover the unique charm of Vị Thanh Market, often referred to as the "chồm hổm" (disorganized) market. This rural market opens early, around 2-3 AM, bustling with vendors who are primarily local farmers. They squat or sit on small stools, neatly displaying their fresh produce and seafood in 2-4 square meter spaces, ensuring high quality and affordable prices. By late morning, the market winds down, leaving a vivid impression of the region's rich cultural life.

The market offers a wide variety of seasonal homegrown produce, including cucumbers, bitter melons, pineapples, longans, rambutans, and water lilies. You can also find traditional Western Vietnamese sweets like Vietnamese sweet soup, sticky rice, honeycomb cake, and banana cake.
