A wonderful and authentic market. Local sellers and buyers from many tribes. They sell fruits and vegetables, meat, animals and more.
Yes a great local authentic market. We expected to see many animals-buffalo etc being sold, but were told that happened the day before, Saturday, when all info said this market was only on Sundays...
Weather is pretty hot … been there more than 10 yrs ago, it has changed a lot …. It’s like a normal mkt
The driver drove very very fast stopped to do personal business while we all waited in the heat. The animal market was very disturbing l know it is their culture but made me cry. Thought the market would be less touristy not the best deals.
The variety, vibrancy and popularity of the market where all manner of people congregate to watch or sell their wares or produce.
6hrs from Sapa...tiring journey and not worth the effort... don't need to go. Guide was chatting with driver, nit explaining what things are. Food at restaurant was OK only... sad to see them sell dogs there..
One of the most interesting local market. Bac Ha market was very well worth to visit if you love hill tribes culture. There were lots of things to experience, they sell everything from pigs, buffaloes, birds, rice, wine, clothes...
