Amazing market - One of the most interesting local market. Bac Ha market was very well worth to visit if you love hill tribes culture. There were lots of things to experience, they sell everything from pigs, buffaloes, birds, rice, wine, clothes...

The driver drove very... - The driver drove very very fast stopped to do personal business while we all waited in the heat. The animal market was very disturbing l know it is their culture but made me cry. Thought the market would be less touristy not the best deals.

Over rated...market is huge. although there's a guide, she was chatting with driver all the time. Waste time! Not worth the jour - 6hrs from Sapa...tiring journey and not worth the effort... don't need to go.
Guide was chatting with driver, nit explaining what things are. Food at restaurant was OK only... sad to see them sell dogs there..
