Bac Ha Market always gives me a unique and special feeling.
I have been to Bac Ha Market many times, not just once or twice, yet I never get bored. Every time I visit, I have to walk around several times before leaving. I always take photos, but it seems impossible to capture all the beauty of this place.
Bac Ha Market is one of the busiest markets in the North and only open on weekend mornings. The locals usually work from Monday to Saturday and on Sundays, they spend time at the market to meet friends, shop for essentials and trade goods. The market has preserved its rich traditional culture, making it a truly distinctive place.
What makes this market unique is the sight of women sitting and selling goods while chatting animatedly, while the men gather to eat and drink, enjoying their weekend. As the market comes to the end, a familiar scene unfolds: the women finish packing up and go find their husbands—who might already be tipsy— to bring them home. This is a characteristic cultural feature of the Northern people and Bac Ha Market is a perfect place to experience it. ❤️🇻🇳. 🇻🇳
