At this time, the Hau River is red with alluvium flowing turbulently. People who make a living by the waves start the diesel engine to smoke and push the sampan to rock on the river. Being taken around the floating market by the boat owner, we witnessed the whole scene of agricultural trade here. There are even people who specialize in selling food and drinks, running their sampans through the large boats to serve breakfast to traders and small traders. All activities on the river take place bustlingly and quickly, bringing the rustic, simple beauty of the flood season that has been passed down through the centuries. According to incomplete statistics, the number of large and small boats coming and going to this floating market is nearly 100. Thanks to the bustling trading activities, people have a stable income, creating jobs for local workers.
