Explore Sapa’s night market with a local guide, choosing BBQ, hotpot, or H’mong black chicken while paying only for your food.
“We really enjoyed the trip. Advantages: - The guide was very friendly, communicative and his English was really good. - It's a great opportunity to talk to a local about life in Vietnam, learn about living conditions, customs and history. - It feels safer to be in the market with a guide. He communicated with the sellers and enabled us to try out and buy lots of things. Without him, we would have felt a bit more uncertain. Disadvantages: The night market in SaPa itself is not really that varied. Everyone sells the same things – once you've looked at the goods at one stall, you've pretty much seen everything.…”
Pick a canal, a covered hall, a souk or a stove.
