Еднодневна екскурзия до пазара Бак Ха и село Бан Фо от Сапа

사파출발, 라오까이 하차후 이동하는 것도 가능해서 그런 일정인 분은 고려해도 좋겠음. 일요일만 가능한 진정한 로컬시장 경험 재밌었음. 분위기상 뭘 살 수는 없으나 옷, 공산품, 먹거리, 소품, 가축까지 없는 게 없고 소수민족분들이 관광화된 것이 아니라 진짜 팔고 사는 현장에서 생활하는 모습을 볼 수 있음. 제공되는 점심식사도 적당했음(물, 음료는 따로 계산).

Rode minibus for about 3h to Bac Ha market, got to see various items on sale. then had lunch and short visit (about 30 min) to a small flower Hmong village and house (see them make corn wine). managed to go to the border between Vietnam and China. Was dropped off at Lao Cai upon request to take train back to Hanoi.

Communication is very clear of the pickup time and the mini bus arrives within time frame and is comfy and clean. Journey from Sapa downtown to Bac Ha took over 2.5 hours and there are no pit stops for toilet break. The road is meandering so be prepared if you’re car nauseous. Once at Bac Ha, guide will bring us into the middle of the Bac Ha market and show us the restaurant where we’ll be having lunch. Afterwards, we’re given about 1.5 hours of free time to roam around on our own. Lunch provided is also filling and good but drinks are sold separately. Just take note that they shifted the buffalo and horse market to Saturday because it was too crowded on Sunday. Originally all the action took place on the Sunday so I was quite disappointed when I don’t see the big animals on a Sunday. At the Ban Pho village, we learnt how they make the fragrant corn wine and it seriously taste good if you can take strong alcohol (40-60%). Lastly, we also dropped by the border bridge that connects Vietnam (Lao Cai) to China (Yunnan) for picture taking. Overall, I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Sapa area for the first time.

I had a good time with my guide Su. She was nice and spoke really good English, providing us much interesting information about the culture and life of local people.

여행 상품과 가이드 자체는 아주 좋았습니다. 박하시장이 일요일에 열리는 건 맞습니다만, 가장 기대했던 우시장은 토요일로 옮겨져있어서 볼 수 없어서 아쉬웠습니다. 대신 가이드 분께서 정말 친절하게 이것저것 재밌게 잘 알려주시고 챙겨주셔서 좋았습니다. 반포 마을에서 옥수수 양조장을 가서 체험하는 것도 신기하고 좋았습니다. 마지막에 라오까이에서 강 건나면 중국 국경인 곳에서 사진도 찍을 수 있게 해줍니다. 차량이동은 편도로 2시간 반, 왕복 5시간이 걸리니까 참고하세요.

This is a very far trip to make from Sapa town. About 3 hours one way. it is like going back to Singapore in the 1960s. We had a very enthusiastic guide who explained about the Bac Ha market origin and the products sold by the hmong folks and also the Ban Pho house that we visited. quite an interesting trip.

集合場所のサパスノーホテルで待っていたが30分過ぎても迎えが来ずに焦りました。7名でのツアーでしたがバクハー市場、少数民族の家、中国との国境を巡りました。辛辣な意見で申し訳ありませんが、わざわざツアーに参加しなくても個人で観光しても充分かなと感じました。

It was a wonderful market. It's not easy to go to this market on your own, so I'm glad I joined the tour. There were clean toilets available. At the end, they also took us to the Chinese border and the tea plantations.

Good tour, very interesting, the guide was very helpful!

比我預期的行程鬆散一些，原本以為導遊會沿途介紹，結果是自由參觀，沒看到牛隻交易，但有看到賣小狗，午餐普通
