Long Thanh Photo Studio

Long Thanh's photographic repertoire is unique as its wide-ranging. His landscapes are often moody, contrasting the natural beauty of Vietnam with the continuing struggle in people's daily lives, while Long Thanh's portraiture captures the essence of the Vietnamese people, especially his high-contrast pictures of old people who have witnessed more than their fair share of tradegy over the generations.

Precious Heritage by Rehahn

A 500m2 display of photos and artifacts collected during the last 8 years of Rehahn's exploration of Vietnam. Entrance for this cultural experience is Free In English, French and Vietnamese

Reviewed By ilarialuceripoll - Jakarta, Indonesia

This is definitely a not-to-be-missed gem in Hoi An. Forget the ethnographic and history museums in Hanoi and Saigon, this is the place to truly learn about the different people who inhabit Vietnam. Réhahn is truly passionate about showcasing and preserving the rich heritage of all the ethnic groups in the country, and he has managed to personally assemble a wonderfully extensive collection of traditional costumes and other artefacts. These are presented better than in any museum we have seen here, with detailed explanations for each and—huge bonus—fantastic portraits of villagers. The gallery is free and has set up a couple of humanitarian projects entirely financed through the sale of the gorgeous photographs and books. Absolutely worthwhile spending an hour or so here, and if you happen to be in luck and visit when Rehahn is actually there himself you are in for an extra treat.

Hoi An Night Market

Hoi An Night Market, occupying Nguyen Hoang Street in the centre of town, consists of over 50 local vendors selling a variety of local snacks, trinkets, clothing, jewellery, and accessories. Widely regarded as one of the most popular markets in Vietnam, it occupies a 300-metre-long street that overlooks Thu Bon River and is illuminated by hundreds of colourful lanterns, making a popular spot for photography as well.

On "An Hôi Islet" and overlooking "Thu Bon River", "Hôi An Night Market" occupies the 300 meter-long "Nguyen Hoang Street". Illuminated by hundreds of beautiful colorful paper lanterns, over fifty busy stalls sell the traditional products commonly seen in other Southeast Asia markets - clothing, jewelry, accessories, small souvenirs and all the trinkets you may imagine ... But two items are very special and unique at "Hôi An Night Market": Vietnamese silk and, of course, the beautiful colorful paper lanterns! While shopping, bargaining is expected and soon you will find yourself bargaining down prices like locals! Many stalls offer typical "spicy" street food. Restaurants and pubs are just a few minutes away from the market. Bring your camera and take as many pictures as you can! Fond memories to take home! Be ready for crowds on early evenings. Enjoy!

XQ Da Lat Art House

Reviewed By paulrP5054CI

Not really the thing you would expect to excite an older Aussie male but my mother was a seamstress and designer of fabrics and I decided to visit in her memory. There are actually two XO exhibits - one out of town near the Love Valley and this one in town. Not sure about the other one but this house would have blown my mother away. As everyone else mentions, the artistry and expertise is absolutely astounding, so much so that you really have to get close to realize that the frescos are actually embroidered, not painted. Some of the works are metres long and high and one can only imagine the amount of work and time that needed to be spent to create such masterpieces. Several rooms and floors to explore and there was at least one woman working on a new piece while I was there. Not at lot of english signage or spoken, so take your translator (virtual or real) with you. They also sell some small pieces of work and some lengths of silk, so take some spare cash with you as while not cheap but VIet standards, there are some really good deals on the cloth to be had. If you are bored, take the long (2km) walk out of town and along side of the lake - beautiful weather to do so, great views along the way and the XO Art House is really worth the effort.

Day Market

Reviewed By PaulSiow - Petaling Jaya, Malaysia

This is a traditional morning market. We came here every morning to buy our fruits like pineapples, mangoes, sour sop etc. You find plenty of fresh seafood, many alive and all kinds of shell fish, crabs etc. Meat is also plentiful and there are nearby eateries. Very crowded place next to the river and locals move slowly on their motorbikes. Noisy place with plenty of locals, but interesting.

The fresh fish dock and the affordable silk tailors are some high points of this thriving all-day market.

Reviewed By travelbuddies99

It's great to get amongst it, shopping with the locals, wandering through the aisles. There are all sorts of goods for sale in this vicinity and the fruit and veg. are of good quality but it's a bit hard to strike a great bargain unless you are Vietnamese or can speak the language. I'm sure the locals have prices for locals and prices for visitors and there's not a lot the average tourist can do, but it's a fun thing to experience the thrill of the chase for a good price! Tailors, shoe shops and much more can be found around here.

Cai Rang Floating Market

Touring a floating market in the Mekong Delta is a box that many travellers to Saigon wish to check, and none are bigger, or more popular than the Can Tho’s Cai Rang Floating Market.The Cai Rang Floating Market, the largest wholesale floating market in the Mekong Delta, starts around 04:00 and runs until 10:00, meaning that you’ll have to get an early start of the day if you want to visit.The market is about six kilometres from Can Tho, or about a 40-minute boat ride. While floating down the river, you get a glimpse of life along its shores. You’ll pass vibrantly painted boats anchored along the shore, merchant vessels carrying loads down the river and houses built on stilts over the water.Once you finally reach the market, it’s an impressive site. A stretch of boats selling all variety of goods lines the river. Not really a place for souvenirs, people come here instead to buy large quantities of goods, mostly foodstuffs, and you will get an idea of what water commerce in the Delta looks like. Your guide on the boat will usually give you information about Cai Rang as you weave through the hordes. You’ll learn that boats identify what they are selling by hanging a sample off the top of a long pole; if you want pineapple, simply scan the horizon for a hanging pineapple. You’ll also get the opportunity to interact with some of these floating merchants; most commonly this happens when a small boat selling drinks latches onto the tour boat’s side.After the market you’ll be ferried off to your breakfast break at a local orchard. You’ll be led around a fairly large garden growing a big variety of local fruits, which you’ll get to sample after your walk. Once your breakfast or fruits is eaten, you’ll go back to the boat and it’s time to explore some of the Mekong’s canals. Your tour boat will slowly coast down a few of these quiet canals, choked on both sides by greenery. As the sun starts to heat things up, your tour will draw to a close, returning you to downtown Can Tho.Since the market starts early in the morning, and because Can Tho is a healthy bus ride from Saigon — about four hours — you won’t have the option of seeing this floating market as a day tour from HCMC. Instead, you’ll have to spend the night in Can Tho.

we had a fabulous day with Zen, a super friendly guide and very good knowledge as well as speak excellent english. We had a delicious breakfast at local floating restaurant. We were in floating market with many fruit boats. I think this market like a unique floating market still survive, so please come here before too late. Then we went to many beautiful canals and villages, then stop at cocoa farm, we eat fresh cocoa and drink chocolate at this farm, Zen also bought plenty of fruits such as mango, jackfruit, pineapple and star apple, all of them are so delicious. Then we went to noodle factory in which we learnt how to make noodle and had a really great lunch with pizza noodle which is the best food I never had. We are really grateful for this unforgetable trip. Highly recommend! you can contact with zen via his whatsapp +84335699848

A very traditional market with bowl upon bowl and layer upon layer of fresh fruit and vegetables laid out upon the ground with stall holders in their conical shaped hats squatting beside them. Behind them are tables overloaded with fresh fish and hanging above their heads .0f the stall holders are nets of exotic smelling spices. Take care - the road is teeming with locals on their cycles and mopeds.
