Three unique markets around Sapa

Three unique markets around Sapa

There is a Sapa that always makes people remember in a unique way. Like that, I remember the cliffs of the mountain cliffs standing up in the sky, I remember the dewy days of covering up, I could not find a way out, and somewhere in the subconscious image of the beautiful Mong Dao ethnic girl in brocade bright colors. But there is also an idyllic Sapa in the rustic villages, with a colorful Sapa in the markets with the soul of the highlands. So every time I visit the town all year round, there is mist in the sky and earth, I tell my heart to find out about a certain market, so that we can understand the life of indigenous people, understand better the features. The culture is handed down in the far northwest.
