Description:

Sapa Market (every Saturday night)

This is the kermis of the Dao and H’mong ethnic minority group where people gather together to exchange commodities and local products. This is also an opportunity for local people, especially the youth, to meet and get to know about each other through exciting songs for courting, through flute tune, Khen, Dan Moi…

Bac Ha Kermis

Location: Bac Ha district, Lao Cai province, 60km from Lao Cai city and is considered the largest kermis in the mountainous highland of the frontier regions.

Visiting Bac Ha market, you will not be invited consistently to buy their products, instead, you will find that people there are very friendly in traditional colorful clothes. They come to the kermis not only for business purpose, but also for entertaining, getting acquaintance with people there.

Coc Ly Market

You can find all kinds of products at Coc Ly market from local products to commodities taken from the lowlands or from China.
