Can Cau Market hold on every Saturday from 6hours until midday. Though small but
it is the place where you can encounter Flower H'mong, Phu La, Black Dao, Tay and
Nung minorities in colorful costumes.
What to Do ? Set in the mountains near the Chinese border, Can Cau
Market is the area where different
minority groups in colorful dress exchange local items. You will spend the whole
morning there then go to Bac Ha for lunch. Light trekking to nearby villages and
visit the old castle of the former Hmong king are also highlights of trips.
How to get there? The best option is to take night trains from Hanoi to Lao Cai.
