The market is located right in the center of Vi Thanh, Hau Giang Province, about 50 kilometers south of Can Tho City. You can easily get there by motorbike or car. The market has a very large area for safe parking of all types of vehicles. Thomas observed that the market is crowded from sunrise, with the peak being around 6-7 am, then gradually thinning out and almost closing around 9 am. Remember to visit during the flood season; the market will be incredibly beautiful and offer a deeper appreciation of the land of "healthy trees and sweet fruits," "wild birds and fish," and the products carried by the floodwaters, from purple water lilies and yellow water hyacinths to snakes, turtles, field mice, and various kinds of dried fish and many more – a vibrant, colorful, and poetic scene.
