When mr.hotsia had the opportunity to travel north of Vietnam to explore Bac Kan province, one unforgettable impression was visitingBac Kan Morning MarketA local market full of life and the true folk culture of northern Vietnamese people

This market is located in Bac Kan town, a small town that still firmly preserves rural lifestyle, unlike the hustle of big cities I have visited. Traveling here is convenient by bus or motorcycle from Lang Son city, which I mentioned in my articleLang Son Province Vietnamwhich is not far away and another province I really like because of its mountainous atmosphere and pristine nature

Bac Kan morning market opens from early dawn until late morning. It is a meeting point for villagers from surrounding areas who bring fresh food, fruits, local vegetables, and handicrafts to sell. The atmosphere is lively, filled with bargaining voices and the aroma of local food wafting through the air

mr.hotsia enjoys wandering through food stalls offering a wide variety, from sticky rice wrapped in banana leaves, local grilled pork, freshly grilled river fish, to snacks made from sticky rice and mung beans, including rare local desserts like Vietnamese “Khao Tom Mud” wrapped in fragrant green leaves. For those who love spicy food, don’t miss trying the “Vietnamese Grilled Button Squid” I recommended in the videoVietnamese Grilled Button Squidwhich is also available to taste in Bac Kan

A market not just for trading but a community hub

What makes Bac Kan morning market different from big city markets is the rural friendliness. Local people of all ages gather here, from elders chatting under the shade to children playing around the market. I saw locals smiling brightly and sharing life stories without hesitation in front of the camera. This charm is what mr.hotsia loves most

Besides food products, the market also has stalls selling fresh vegetables, local herbs, and spices used in northern Vietnamese kitchens, some of which are rare and not often found in big city markets. I also bought some of these herbs to take home
