Location: Binh Lu and Tam Duong
market is located on the other side of Sapa, passing the 1900 meter Tram Ton
pass, Viet Nam's
highest mountain pass and considered the most beautiful stretch of road in the
country.
The market open every Sunday
Every from 8 am to 1 pm. Being set up just on the side of the main road and
surrounded by steep mountains and hills covered with green tea plantation, the
Tam Duong market is held on every Sunday. It is not as big and colorful as the
markets in Bac Ha and Muong Hum and crowded on some moths from September to
April but is worth to spend an hour attending these 2 markets as additional
activity to the Northwest trip.
The town is bustling with
activity as the local hill tribes gather for their weekly market day, amazing
tribal markets in Binh Lu where thousand of Thai Kadai language groups such as
Tai Lu, Tai Laos, White Tai, and H'mong - Yao
group (black Yao, Yao Lantien..) Giay, Khomu.. comes to buy and
sell their own produces.
