The market deeply shows the typical cultural features of the minorities in remote mountainous areas in Vietnam. Further more, you can enjoy seeing boys and girls in colourful costumes - different colours of the mountains. They attend to the market with the hope of finding "the other halves of their lives" and this is also the time for them to chat, to exchange everything among different ethnic people through cups of wine sold in the market.
