While it is smaller than the Bac Ha and Can Cau Markets, the Coc Ly Market has its own charm. It is small in area and very cozy. Still, it is colorful and atmospheric enough that you’ll have a great time. The areas for different types of goods look really neat and you’ll feel the laid back lifestyle of the mountain dwellers. The Flower Hmong are the most visible here for their lovely costumes. Besides, you’ll encounter ethnic people from different groups: Tay, Nung, Phu La, Black Dao…
Visiting the Coc Ly Market you can also visit a nearby old teak tree forest and ethnic villages. There are villages by the Chay River that you can visit on a 2-hour tour by boat and on foot. On the boat trip, you’ll travel past a few canyons and waterfalls which look just wild and sublime!
Paradissa often includes a visit to the Coc Ly market on our family tours to Sapa should it be the day of the market.
