Nga Bay floating market, also known as Phung Hiep floating market, was once famous for its history of more than a hundred years and the busiest trading atmosphere in the Mekong Delta.

The market is located right at the intersection of 7 rivers: Cai Con, Mang Ca, Bung Tau, Soc Trang, Xeo Mon, Lai Hieu, Xeo Vong. Many craft villages have been formed along the river such as boat building, weaving, farming... With the Nga Bay floating market, the gathering at 7 river branches has become a unique feature that is difficult to mix and will be an attractive mystery. Those who like to travel to the West should explore, because each branch of the river has a different unique craft village... This place has also entered poetry and music, making it even more captivating. In the South, there are many floating markets, but none is as "famous" as Nga Bay market in terms of scale, affluence as well as its reputation and status. In the past, the central area of ​​Nga Bay market had over 1,000 large and small boats; During peak Tet holidays, there may be more than 3,000 units; There are also hundreds of boats across. At night, oil lamps and vase lanterns float in the water waves all night long like a lantern festival, it's so exciting.. Nga Bay floating market usually opens in the early morning every day. From 5 to 8 am is the peak time for buying and selling fresh agricultural products. From then until the afternoon and evening, the market continues to operate. Goods at the floating market are extremely diverse, especially fruits. According to each season, looking at the bustling boats and boats full of fruit, visitors will know which fruit is the main crop.

In 2002, Nga Bay floating market (Nga Bay town, Hau Giang) was moved to a location on Ba Ngan canal in Dai Thanh commune, about 3 km from the old location because the market was too busy and many vehicles were anchored. traffic safety, pollution... Since being moved to Ba Ngan canal, the market is no longer bustling and is gradually sinking into oblivion because of the scarcity of boats and boats, not meeting the sightseeing needs of tourists. The bustling image of buying and selling "on the wharf under the boat" in the past now only remains in the memories of the people here. To save the Nga Bay floating market and develop Hau Giang river and river tourism, in 2015 Hau Giang province invested in a road system, tourist wharf, power supply, lighting, and water supply and drainage systems. It is expected that after completion, Nga Bay floating market will be relocated to its old location to become a tourist highlight, not only for Nga Bay, but also for Hau Giang province.
