SUNDAY MARKET EXTRAVAGANZA

On every Sunday mornings, it is literally a riot of color as many different ethnic groups such as the Flower H’mong, Phu La, Black Dao, Tay and Nung minorities gather to trade. After spending the whole morning exploring the market, your lunch will be served in a local restaurant.

In the afternoon, you will enjoy a drive downhill to Trung Do village for visiting the Tay ethnic who live in the pretty traditional house on stilts. The Tay People are very friendly and open-minded, they are doing very well in agriculture farming, and organize their village nice and clean.

An easy walk will lead around the village to admire the pretty rice field, and traditional houses, meet the villagers and visit their homes. You then continue with car driving back to Topas Ecolodge or combine with Topas Mountain Express to transfer to Hanoi

Approx: 5 hours driving / 2 hours walking
