Lying at the bottom of towelling Tay Con Linh mountains, Hoang Su Phi is famous not only for its most beautiful terraced fields but also its traditional market where people from the ethnic minority groups of Tay, Nung, Dao and H’Mong gather from early morning to mid-day every Sunday.
Lu Van Chung, Vice Chairman of the Hoang Su Phi district People’s Committee, says this is a traditional market for them to meet and barter their products with each other such as cassava, honey, bamboo shoots, eggs, fruits and poultry for a weekly stock of foods.
Many have to walk a dozen kilometres from Ban Luoc, San Xa Ho and Nam Ty hamlets to join other ethnic minority people wearing colourful costumes on their way to the market.
