The unique "backward" market in Sa Phin

Coming to Sa Phin commune, visitors can not admire the wonderful scenery, but also join the unique backward market in the locality.

The basket accompanies H’mong women to every market fair.

As one of four unique backward markets in the border region, Sa Phin market takes place once every 6 days. Next week's market is held one day later than the previous week's session. The backward market is located next to the National Highway 4C in Sa Phin commune.

A H’mong woman always carries a hemp thread in her hand, spinning even as she walks through the market.

Sa Phin market is used not only for the trade and exchange of goods but is also a destination for locals to meet and share their thoughts and emotions.

The market is also a feast for the senses, offering authentic highland flavors: steaming horse meat stew (thang co), men men (steamed cornmeal), fragrant buckwheat cakes, corn wine, etc.

Sa Phin market offers a wide variety of local agricultural products.

Today, Sa Phin’s backward market has become a popular stop for visitors, who are drawn to its vibrant brocade colors, friendly smiles, and authentic highland spirit.
