Photography Tour The Xin Cheng Market
(2 Days 3Nights )
On every Wednesdays, Xin Cheng Market offers the opportunity to discover a colorful gathering point of many local minorities such as the Flower H’Mong, Tay or Giay. On the way to the market along the Chinese border, you will enjoy amazing mountain scenery, charming rivers and terraced rice fields. People from the area meet at the market to exchange tobacco, clothes, fruits, horses, buffaloes and many other local products. Xin Cheng is also a social gathering point for the villagers to meet and exchange the latest news. On the way back to Sapa, you will pass by the H’mong King Palace which was built in the early 20th century during the French colonial era. The tour to Xin Cheng Market can be a best choice for any photographers who are looking for a best shot of the H’mong or ethnic market in the far north of Vietnam.
