fixed seating spots arranged according to stall walls At first light as the sun rose people quickly settled into their spots to begin a bustling day of trading Selling goods right on the road is usually prohibited and may result in a fine Yet in this market people sit in tight neat rows creating a very orderly and visually pleasing scene Venturing deeper inside the livestock sales area is always the busiest spot from early morning People typically take advantage of the opportunity to buy large quantities of chickens and ducks This market only operates on weekends so the entire street

counters attract many people because they are essential items in daily life In addition there are stalls selling clothing jewelry and luggage in vibrant eye-catching colors PHIÊN TRỢN ĐỐC LẠI TẠI TÊI BẮC I am currently present at a highland assistance session for the Mông Ngây community in the border region This session only takes place on weekends so by early morning the three of them had already

fresh clean agricultural products folks Tomatoes plums pears and wild greens were piled high on handcrafted wooden tables These tables are typically made from pine wood giving them a very rustic appearance The local agricultural products are mostly grown by villagers using their own seeds and cultivated on terraced fields It doesn't look particularly appealing but it's extremely reassuring to

that really appeals to me is the incense section Highland incense is handmade bundled into small bunches and sellers burn a bit for customers to smell the fragrance A subtle deeply pleasant aroma utterly different from the industrial scents found downstream Standing here for a moment I felt my heart slow down continuing forward I’d come across stalls selling traditional bags Handwoven by Mong women the bags feature exquisite patterns and each woman can carry several dozen If we sell out today we'll head to a different market tomorrow if not we'll continue to the next weekly market The weather in the highlands changes very rapidly it rained continuously just a few days ago and this morning it only cleared up briefly As they walked thick fog rolled in gradually enveloping the surrounding mountains and forests Locals know a heavy rain is coming just by seeing the clouds That's exactly right—within just 15 to 20 minutes the rain had already started pouring down No sooner had the command been given than the wind rushed in whipping through the entire area It's raining so let's head inside to the food area Here you'll find pho vermicelli and grilled snails with beans all available Eating meat with snails and a bit of pork is a very distinctive dish among the Mông people After the rain mist shrouded everything making the scenery far more magical Standing in the middle of the bustling market watching the three vendors at work children running around playing and adults chatting casually The pace of life in highland areas is clearly very different from that in cities After walking around to take a look only when returning to assess the whole scene did it become clear that this market session was more than just a place for buying and selling but also a place for
