Can Cau Market (Cho Can Cau)

Try to avoid visiting between December and February if you don't enjoy cold weather, as temperatures can drop relatively low and occasionally snow. From June to August, Sapa enters the rainy season, which makes trekking harder due to slippery and muddy paths.

The Sapa Love Market is a unique cultural event of the ethnic groups in Northwest Vietnam, with a lively atmosphere of traditional dances, the sound of “khen flutes”, and colorful ethnic costumes.

Sapa offers some of Vietnam's best trekking , and some villages such as Cat Cat and Ta Phin can be seen without a guide. Book an overnight trek to wander through rice terraces, bathe in waterfalls and experience ethnic culture firsthand. Stay outside the tourist hub of Sapa in simple comfort at a mountaintop lodge.
