Opening every Sundays from morning till 2:00 pm, Bac Ha Market (80km from Sapa) is an ideal place for every visitor to take a Sapa tour exploring the pristine looks and characteristics of Vietnamese ethnic minority groups in the northwest region.

Bac Ha weekend market is the biggest fair, which is often held every Sunday near the mountainous highlands and the Chinese border. It is considered as the largest and most colorful market in the area. On Sundays, throngs of villagers from the surrounding hill tribes walk to the market to purchase and exchange food, animals, clothes and household goods.

Not only being the place for buying and selling, Bac Ha Market is also a meeting point for cultural and sentiment exchanging. When you have chance to catch  the upland fair, you can see lines of people and horse pouring to the market through all paths and mountain roads. Sitting in groups, eating a hot soup pan (Thang Co) and talking to each other, all are what the locals normally do when they come to Bac Ha.
