#January travel support event #Sapa travel The first drink I tried at the mint market When locals ask me to put in various things themselves, the owner makes it right away The ingredients are so colorful and unique that I was curious I decided to try it. The ingredients that go into the shaved ice taste good, but it's too sweet to eat all of it.

#January travel support event #Sapa travel Although I saw many hill tribes wearing traditional costumes in Sapa, you can see hill tribes in the market and on the streets in Bakha. The clothes are not the same and are surprisingly diverse, so it's fun to see. Bakha It's a course that takes some time to get there and back, but it seems worth visiting at least once.

#January travel support event #Sapa travel While using the Mint Half-Day Tour, I think I spent a long time at the market. The prices are quite cheap. In Sapa, I didn't feel that the things sold by the hill tribe were that expensive, but here, they were really cheaper. So I bought the things I wanted here.

#January travel support event #Sapa travel While on the Mint Tour, I had the opportunity to visit a house where a hill tribe lives. It was probably included in the tour course. I wondered if it was okay to go into someone else's house like this, but I went in because they told me to I had many thoughts about the house I saw for the first time.

#January travel support event While coming to Sapa, I really wanted to visit Bac Ha Bac Ha is a mountainous region in northern Vietnam, and it looks different from the Vietnam we know. It's even a little cold. It felt less developed than Sapa, so it looked warmer. If you go to the market, you can meet ethnic minorities wearing colorful clothes.

Known for its vibrant Sunday Market, Bac Ha offers an unforgettable glimpse into the traditions of the region’s ethnic minority groups, such as the Flower Hmong. The Sunday Market is the highlight of Bac Ha. Every week, locals from nearby villages flock to the market, dressed in their traditional, colorful attire. The market is a sensory feast, bustling with vendors selling handmade crafts, textiles, fresh produce, and livestock. It’s also a fantastic spot to sample local delicacies, including the flavorful “thang co,” a traditional Hmong stew. Beyond the market, Bac Ha is surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. The rolling hills, terraced rice fields, and mist-covered valleys create a serene backdrop for trekking and exploring the rural countryside. Visiting Ban Pho village, home to the Flower Hmong community, offers deeper insight into their daily lives, farming practices, and rich culture. The town itself is small and peaceful, with a few cozy accommodations and restaurants serving delicious Vietnamese and local dishes. It’s less touristy than nearby Sapa, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a quieter, more authentic experience. Getting to Bac Ha is relatively easy, with buses and private transport available from Lao Cai or Sapa. However, the winding mountain roads can be a bit challenging, so be prepared for a bumpy ride.
