Vietnam's Northern Vietnam
Bac Ha
Set in the glorious landscapes of Northern Vietnam, Bac Ha offers a world of pleasures to the intrepid traveler. However, while the scenery is unsurpassed, it is Bac Ha’s unique cultural delights that quickly prove the underlying gem of this northern village.
Every Sunday morning, the streets of this sleepy town spring to life as numerous ethnic minority villagers descend from the mountains to buy, sell and trade everything from horses and dogs to medicinal herbs and intricate handmade tapestries. The brilliant colors of the elaborate clothing and the sounding harmony of negotiations and bargaining create a vibrant setting at this Sunday Morning Market, a setting not to be missed.
