However, the Bac Ha Cultural Market Management Board has just announced a change in market hours to one day of the week, which is Saturday. The market will now be open from 5:00 AM to 6:00 PM, starting from July 19, 2025.

The unified organization of the livestock market aims to create favorable conditions for tourists, locals, and traders, providing them with specific and clear times for visiting and conducting transactions. This will promote local tourism development and contribute to the promotion of the culture, image, people, and homeland of Bac Ha to a wide range of domestic and international tourists.
