🇻🇳 Bizarre Foods at the Largest Tribal Market in Vietnam

"Bac Ha Sunday Market is often held every Sunday from morning till 2:00 pm, near the mountainous highlands and the Chinese border. The market has come to existence since the foundation of Lao Cai Province. From then on, the market only opens once a week on Sunday.

Bac Ha Market is considered as the largest and most colorful market in the area. On weekends, throngs of villagers from the surrounding hill tribes walk to the market to purchase and exchange food, animals, clothes and household goods.
The Bac Ha Market sees the attendance of variety different ethnic groups including Flower H’mong, Phu La, Black Dao, Tay and Nung minorities, who gather together to buy and sell their own products (ranging from everything made from hand-embroidered skirts to all manner of 4-legged animals) that cannot be found elsewhere. That’s why the market is frequently very crowded and bustling.

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 a chance to catch the upland fair, you can see lines of people and horses 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.

By train: Vietnam Railways offers two express trains from Hanoi to Lao Cai every day. It may take you 5 hours to reach Lao Cai Train Station. Then you can catch a bus at Lao Cai Bus Station to get to Bac Ha Market and join the dynamic atmosphere here.

By sleeper bus: On a daily basis, there are two sleeper buses which depart for Bac Ha from My Dinh Bus Station. This way will take you around 6 hours.
By motorbike or car: You can also contact any car-hire or motorbike-hire service to get a vehicle for your Hanoi – Bac Ha journey." Source: https://vietnamdiscovery.com/sapa/sho...

ABOUT SER ANDY

Hi, I'm Andy. I am a Vietnamese now living in the U.S.. After graduating from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, CA., I decided to make my life-long dream of documenting my food trips and sharing them with you a reality. Making food videos is a part-time hustle at the moment but a full-time obsession for sure. I am new at this! So please free to let me know what you think of the videos. I would love to hear constructive criticism and feedback. I am here for you all. Also feel free to let me know what food you want to see in the future. I will make it happen. I promise you all!
