This year, the festival featured over 180 kinds of fruit from 21 provinces all around the country. These fruits were sold on the floating boats, which is a cultural feature of  the Southern Vietnam. In particular, this floating market will be held during three months of summer, selling fruits at 20 – 40% lower prices than market prices.
