Hoang Su Phi market has existed for hundreds of years. In the past, when roads and conditions were difficult, people in the highlands had to leave at midnight, or even the day before, to get to the market on time to exchange goods. Nowadays, everything is more convenient. At the market, there are Nung women who hand embroider and attach silver accessories to make jewelry for women to combine with traditional costumes. In the life of the Nung people, silver is considered a symbol of luck and peace. Many beautiful silver jewelry are sold at the market. Indigo fabric is the most important material to make traditional clothes that are imbued with the national identity of the highlanders. Taking advantage of going to the market, many women look to buy indigo to dye fabric. Traditional incense products are made from medicinal herbs from the forest of the Nung ethnic group. The incense making profession of the Nung ethnic group in Hoang Su Phi has been passed down from generation to generation. Incense makers must comply with regulations such as being middle-aged women with grown children. A little girl was taken by her mother to the market to buy traditional brocade costumes with many colorful colors. At this market, people sell many colorful threads used for embroidery and sewing traditional costumes of ethnic people. Here, there are many types of fabric made from trees used to sew costumes of ethnic minorities. A tourist enjoys taking pictures with the colorful scarves of the people in the Northwest highlands. Many types of tubers and seeds typical of the ethnic people in the Northwest such as Panax notoginseng, Angelica sinensis, Atractylodes macrocephala, Cistanche, Doi, Mac Khen... are used as medicine and spices. The bundles of firewood were arranged very neatly, following the people to the market to exchange goods.NGOC THANH
