Every morning on the vast and bustling Mekong Delta, vendors from the surrounding river villages navigate their way through the chaos to the Phong Dien Floating Market to sell their wares. The colourful spectacle — which takes place just southwest of Can Tho — is at its most lively in the hours just after sunrise, when traders and customers barter loudly from their rocking wooden boats. Yet, despite the noise and commotion, there’s an almost romantic air to this captivating scene. NICO AVELARDI // PHOTOGRAPHER
