Pa Co market in the middle of the Northwest mountains and forests

Held once a week on Sunday, Pa Co market (Pa Co commune, Mai Chau district, Hoa Binh province) is not only a place to exchange goods but also a meeting place, to make friends and to exchange culture for Mong people in 3 communes: Hang Kia, Pa Co (Mai Chau district) and Loong Luong (Van Ho district, Son La province).

The stalls at Pa Co market are quite simple, just a wooden table, a few strings or long wooden bars hanging products, or even a piece of plastic spread across the brick floor, but customers still flock to them, packed tightly inside and outside. Pa Co market is like a miniature painting of the daily life of the Mong people. That is the simplicity, rusticity, and diligence of the people in the Northwest highlands, but crystallized in labor in a place with many difficulties and harsh nature.

Pa Co market starts very early (around 6am) and usually closes when the sun reaches the top of the mountain.

Pa Co market also sells daily necessities for the Mong people.

Finished brocade products are decorated with different patterns and motifs.

Standing out in the stunning picture is the unique colorful costumes of the Mong people.
