Sapa Market
Market in Sapa
Sa Pa’s initial charm for visitors lay in its vibrant weekend market, which filled the steep lanes and stairways around Cau May, the town’s main street, with color and activity. This market has since become a daily event but has been relocated a couple of kilometers east of the town center to a new, custom-built, two-story building. Unfortunately, at the time of research, many of the stalls in this new market remained vacant.
While the souvenir stalls offer a range of unimpressive mementos, the true attraction lies in the fresh market and food stalls at the back of the building. Here, you will find a bustling scene filled with elaborately dressed members of various minority groups.
For a more authentic market experience, visit the market on the other side of the Red River in Can Cau, which takes place on Saturdays.
