The food market next to the rice fields in An Nhut commune, Long Dien district, Ba Ria - Vung Tau province reopened on the afternoon of March 20. Right after rush hour, hundreds of cars and motorbikes lined up on National Highway 55 to the market. Cars from Vung Tau, Ba Ria, cars from Xuyen Moc, Chau Duc...

The market is held on a concrete road next to a green rice field with a fragrant smell of milk. Next to the road is an irrigation canal. The food here is rich and varied: spring rolls with sausages, banh xeo, chicken feet, grilled meat, grilled corn, boiled cassava, seafood...

The food market was organized by the government during the recent Tet holiday, but from March 1, it had to be temporarily closed to arrange additional parking because customers stopped their cars on Highway 55, causing traffic safety problems.

Up to now, the government has arranged parking lots as well as other facilities such as trash cans, fencing irrigation ditches and intra-field roads.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Ha said that thanks to the food market and selling spring rolls here, she has a way to make a living after a long time of losing her job at the garment company. Every day, she earns 200,000 - 300,000 VND in profit.

The food market brings many surprises to diners. A diner said that this food market model is very attractive. Because the food here is affordable, sitting next to the rice field "chill chill" with the fragrant smell of milk, watching the sunset, very poetic, fresh, wonderful.

Present to inspect, survey and urge at the food market, Mr. Huynh Son Tuan - Secretary of Long Dien District Party Committee - said that the district and commune are very interested in this model after consulting in Dong Thap.

"The commune's internal roads are concrete roads, so businesses are clean and attract customers. The model not only helps people have jobs but also develops new and unique community tourism," said Mr. Tuan.
