Giang, Vinh Long and Ben Tre.
A floating market is a market where goods are
sold from boats.

which is hung on a pole in front of the
boat to attract customers.
From the floating market, goods are shifted for selling at
inland markets or small boats take them for delivery along canals in the Plain of
Reeds.
Farmers from the region bring their goods, fruits and vegetables mainly, to the
markets and sell them to local dealers.
These dealers sell the products to shops in
the neighboring towns and to wholesale dealers from the big towns.

wholesaler hangs the goods he buys/sells on this pole.

boats know where they have to go from a certain distance.
