About Cai Be

Cái Bè is a peaceful riverside town in Tiền Giang Province, renowned for its lush fruit orchards and historic architecture. The town is home to the Cai Be floating market and a collection of beautifully preserved 19th-century ancient houses (such as Ba Kiet House) nestled along winding canals. It is one of the best bases for immersive cycling and boat tours in the Mekong Delta.

💡Why Visit?

Cycle through quiet orchards of rambutan and durian, tour historic French-Vietnamese ancient houses, and boat on Mekong canals.

Travel Tips

  • The Cai Be Floating Market has become smaller as road transport improved; start early (around 6 AM) to catch the active fruit trading boats.
  • Renting a bicycle to cross the ferry to Tan Phong Island is the best way to see genuine delta village life.
