🪴 Explore Viet Culture - Occasional Markets
🌱 Some Vietnamese markets operate in a unique way: On some specific days in the month, more vendors will come to the market with their farm animals, produce and specialties, adding more variety to the market itself. These days, called Chợ Phiên in Vietnamese, can be seen more often in rural and mountainous areas, where travelling to a market might take more time than usual. Hence, these special markets are often held five days apart or at weekends only.
🇻🇳 This is considered a part of Vietnamese culture, as markets used to and still are places for people to casually meet up and keep each other updated. These market days are also a great chance to meet people from other ethnic minorities and exchange cultural activities. If you ever had a chance to visit some rural areas, like Hà Giang for example, it's a day you should not miss out!
