Bac Ha is 350 km NorthWest of Hanoi, BacHa - a small town built on a
desolated highland plain NorthWest of Lao Cai, is well-known for the
century-old colorful market of the real mountainous people including
the Dzao and the Flower-H’Mong. They and the mountains seem to fall in
a sleep and time stands still until Sunday mornings when the Bac Ha
market occurs. All the young boys and girls wear their most beautiful
clothes and go to the market.
Couples prepare forestry products
or wine or hand-crafts, etc... and take to the market with bamboo
buckets on their backs, not minding the long hard way, so do the
elders. There, it is chance and time for them to spend money and enjoy
their time. Men drink until being drunk. Women are busy at selling what
they take and buying, cloths and supplies for a week. Young boys dance
in their Khens’ tones and girls sing with sweet voice to express their
deep love. The elderly people drink Bac Ha traditional special strong
wine without leaving their eyes away from the young and remind and
think and talk about their youth having gone far away. And in the
afternoon, it is not surprising to see happy wives back home with their
hang-out husbands on their horses’ backs. That is not all to see when
Bac Ha dresses in white plum’s flowers or green or yellow of rice in
four seasons. It is wise to enjoy the moments of time standing still
and flying.
