Aerial photos of a rural market in Hau Giang recently went viral online and attracted attention because of its incredibly beautiful and scientific arrangement.
Accordingly, the stalls in the market, from the area selling shrimp and fish to agricultural products, are all neatly arranged into separate compartments. People rarely jostle, occupy space or leave things spilling out onto the aisles.

Le Van Anh Tai (27 years old, from Quang Nam ) - the owner of the above photo series said that the destination mentioned is Vi Thanh agricultural market, located near Cai Nhuc bridge, Tran Hung Dao street, ward 1, Vi Thanh city, Hau Giang province.
This is the third time Tai has visited this unique market and was lucky enough to take some vivid photos of the market from above. The previous two times he came, the weather was not favorable and the market had already closed.
“Every time I come here, I have new and different feelings, but this time I was more impressed because I had the opportunity to capture beautiful moments of the market known as the most beautiful “squatting” market in the West,” Tai said.

According to the young man, at Vi Thanh agricultural market, sellers often squat or put up small chairs, displaying goods in an area of about 2 - 4 square meters , so this place is also known by the popular name "squatting" market.
Vi Thanh agricultural market is also called “heap” market because goods and agricultural products are displayed on tarpaulins, piled up. In particular, items such as dried goods and fish sauce will be placed higher to avoid dust.
The market opens in the morning from 2am to 10am, and is busiest between 6am and 8am.
Most of the items are agricultural products or seafood that local people grow, catch and then sell, without going through intermediaries. Therefore, the price of food here is considered cheaper than other markets in the city.

It was a wonderful and unforgettable experience,” the young man said.
