The market meets every Saturday and Sunday in the center of Dong Van. A variety of exotic colorful brocade products, and special local food and wine are on sale, yet food shops are always the most exciting places.

Warm and cozy restaurants are always the travelers’ final stops of the day, where they can sample tasty and spicy grilled meat, sticky rice and warm wine. “Each market is unique. I have visited markets of Mong, Tay and Dao ethnic minority peoples and I have bought a lot of things. In Bac Ha market in Lao Cai, I bought local wine and in Ha Giang, I bought a brocade hat”, said a tour guide.

Ma Pi Pleng pass in Ha Giang province is another popular destination of tourists. The 7-km-long pass is quite steep and has several hairpin turns. To the north and northwest are ranges of mountains leading to the horizon. During 5-day tours of the region, tourists have time to visit a former H’mong King house and a mountain peak called Quan Ba Heaven Gate. Leaving Ha Giang, tourists are advised to go to Bac Kan and Cao Bang to discover more of the hidden charm of Vietnam.
