Bac Ha Market - Part 1

A video of my trip to the Bac Ha Sunday market in northwestern Vietnam on 23 May 2010. The Sunday market is very popular with tourist because of the large number of Flower H'mong hill tribe members that trek in from the surrounding villages. The costumes of the Flower H'mong women are perhaps the most colorful of the hill tribes in Vietnam. This first of two videos concentrates on the live animal portion of the market. The best way to visit the market is to take the Saturday night train from Hanoi to Lao Cai (arrives around 5 AM) and drive to Bac Ha, arriving at the market just before 7 AM when it is starting to get into full swing (with animals and hill tribe women still filing in) but all the tour buses have not yet arrived. Enjoy!
