Mount Cam (Mount Cam commune, An Giang province) is currently a tourist destination attracting many visitors.
Here, in addition to exploring fruit orchards (strawberries, durians, custard apples...), chasing clouds, and admiring the statue of the Maitreya Buddha with his joyful smile, tourists can also enjoy eating and shopping for typical mountain products at the 'cloud market' on the summit of Mount Cam.
"Mount Cam is an interesting tourist destination with many things to experience and see, especially the cloud market on the mountaintop."
"This market truly reflects the culture of the people of the Mekong Delta. The vendors bring their wild vegetables and fruits here to sell. My favorite dish is the banh xeo (Vietnamese savory pancake) with wild vegetables grown naturally in the mountains," said Nguyen Van Xuyen, a tourist from Ho Chi Minh City, happily.
Mr. Dang Van Si, Chairman of the Bay Nui An Giang Tourism Association, said that with an altitude of over 700m above sea level, Cam Mountain (in Cam Mountain commune) possesses a prime location with beautiful mountain, forest and natural stream scenery.
Mount Cam possesses a unique beauty, especially with its large population, which has created a distinctive culture through its "cloud market" - a market located high up and shrouded in clouds.

This unique market is held early in the morning, where locals sell many characteristic products of Mount Cam, including: fruits (strawberries, durian, mangosteen, etc.), kohlrabi, wild bamboo shoots, and many other foods, the most delicious of which is the banh xeo (Vietnamese savory pancake) served with wild vegetables.
The vendors at the market are mostly local residents living in the mountains. Therefore, besides the freshness of the food, they sell at very affordable prices. What makes the market so beautiful is the simple, sincere, and hospitable way the local people conduct their business.
From July to September each year, the cloud market on Mount Cam is at its most beautiful. During this time, the market is sometimes enveloped in a sea of mist, combined with the cool air, making it a favorite destination for tourists.
"The Cloud Market is very well-divided into sections. Tourists who come to visit take the opportunity to stroll around the market to buy local specialties and fruits from the mountains to eat or to take home as gifts for family and friends," Mr. Si said.
