Bac Ha market features local scenes that have been going on every week for generations, where cattle, horses, goats and dogs are bought and sold, as well as many traditional goods like saddles and plowshares, along with elaborate textiles, handbags and other trinkets made by the local tribespeople, the Flower Hmong. Known for their stunning pa ndau needlework – a highly prized traditional art, the exuberant bands of multi-coloured embroidery that decorate their clothing costume is one of the main drawing points in itself. This is an incredibly beautiful part of Vietnam.
