The 'Ghost' market only opens at midnight in Bac Ninh

Vendors at the Yin Yang market often sell money, gold, rice, salt, and fire with the meaning of buying good luck and selling bad luck.

Black chicken is sold mainly in the market.

According to ancient beliefs, black chickens are used as sacrificial offerings to ward off bad luck and evil spirits. This is a special product at the Yin Yang market, only the truly lucky can squeeze in and choose a black chicken as a blessing to bring home at the beginning of the year.

At the Yin Yang market, it is not noisy, buyers do not bargain, sellers do not set prices.

In particular, the market only lights oil lamps or candles so the market is pitch black.

According to folklore, the night of the 4th and the early morning of the 5th of Tet is the time when the yin and yang are in harmony, the time of exchange between humans and ghosts, between the underworld and the living world. Therefore, the market helps the living and the dead have the opportunity to meet again.
