The highlight of the trip is the discovery of traditional habits and customs of the locals.
Check the vehicle before getting started. Sitting on a Honda motorbike from 125cc to 150cc at the price of 130 USD/day/person, you will feel secure when taking our off-road trip. From Sapa to Bac Ha, you will have to go through a pass road surrounded by terraced fields and Hoang Lien Son mountains. It will take about 3 hours to reach Bac Ha market, one of the most bustling markets in the Northwest region. The market days are held from early morning to early afternoon every Sunday. Coming here, you will find many cultural features of the ethnic communities.
In the Bac Ha market, various trading areas are classified according to the types of products. You can buy brocade products such as dresses, towels, and bags here. Besides, some accessories like rings or chains certainly make you excited. Some areas of the Bac Ha market are used for selling animals. You will witness the scene of the locals selling horses, buffaloes, dogs, and rare birds. After going around Bac Ha market, you have lunch and get some rest for about 30 minutes before moving to Hoang A Tuong Palace, which features unique architecture and spectacular landscapes. After mounting many stairs and going through the waiting room of the palace, you hold a ceremony in the yard and do the Xoe dance.
After a trip to Hoang A Tuong Palace, you return to Bac Ha market to enjoy local specialties. You should not miss the opportunity to taste Ban Pho village corn wine in Lao Cai.
