Can Cau market is about 20 km from Bac Ha. It’s a small market, but very colourful. It opens only on Saturday. Upon your arrival here, you will be taken to stroll around and explore the market.

Leaving the market, you will head to Bac Ha town to enjoy lunch there.

Following the nice lunch and a short rest, in the afternoon, you will continue the tour by driving downhill to Lao Cai. It will take you about 1 hour. En route, you will stop and take a short walk to visit Trung Do village where Tay people are living.

When exploring the village, you can stop and enter a traditional Tay house to enjoy a cup of tea. The boat trip ends at Coc Ly where a vehicle is waiting for you to transfer you back to Lao Cai. The tour ends when you arrive at your hotel.

    We had a fantastic time exploring the local market and the charming Tay village, which offered a glimpse into the culture we were hoping to experience. The scenic boat ride was a delightful way to connect different parts of the journey, though it would have been nice to spend a bit more time at the village itself.

    Exploring the vibrant Can Cau Market was a highlight of our day, immersing us in the local culture and allowing us to connect with the Tay villagers. The scenic boat ride through the stunning landscapes was truly memorable, though we wished it had been a bit longer to fully soak in the beauty around us.
