Sapa Market
Sapa Market is in Sapa Town, Sapa District, Lao
Cai Province.
This market of the H’Mong and Red Dao minorities takes place every Saturday
night. The market is a place for trading and exchanging local goods and
products, as well as a meeting place for young people who seek partners by
singing love songs and playing pan-pipes and mouth organs.
When the sun goes down, the H’Mong and Red Dao boys and girls cluster together
in groups of five to ten. Looking and smiling at each other, they sit side by
side in the dim yellow light and sing and talk through the night. When they have
met their soul mate, they exchange gifts and make plans to see each other again
the following week.
This cultural activity has a long history and is still significant in the modern
life of the minority people. The Sapa Market is an attractive place for visitors
who are keen on exploring traditional cultures.
