open-air markets in the region, specializing in livestock. It’s 20km
North of Bac Ha and just 9km south of the Chinese border. Visitors are
generally H’mong groups from highland villages. The local H’mong are the
famous variegated or Flower H’mong due to the intricate and colorful
nature of their costumes, and their colorful dresses makes is a
beautiful sight. Almost every Saturday around 8 different minorities are
represented at the market. Travel is often made by horseback as a way

Can Cau market tour
Tour name: Can Cau market (On Saturday)
Duration: 1 day
Highlight: Can Cau market
Detailed itinerary:
Can Cau is a busy market which is held every Saturday. Located just below the Chinese border, it is a colourful, vibrant market where you will encounter minority peoples such as the Flower H’mong (Red H’mong), Nung, Phu La and even Chinese people from across the border.
All kinds of goods are traded here, from fabrics to various types of livestock to the powerful local corn wine.
As you would expect, the market starts early (around 7.30am) and closes in the early afternoon so you will want to make an early start to get the most out of the experience. A typical itinerary for a day at Can Cau Market would be:
- Drive to Can Cau (125 km / 3 hours from Sapa, or 87 km / 2 hours from Lao Cai).
