Begin your day with a pickup in Dong Van and head to one of Ha Giang’s famous ethnic market fairs. Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere where locals gather to buy, sell, and celebrate their heritage.

Explore the market’s diverse sections, from livestock trading zones to traditional textile stalls. Taste local specialties like thắng cố, sour pho, buckwheat cake, and corn wine.

Join the “drinking market” and observe locals bonding over corn wine. If you’re feeling adventurous, join them for a toast.

Next, visit a nearby ethnic village to learn about stilt houses, terraced fields, and daily life.

Return to Dong Van with optional photo stops along the way.
