As one of four unique backward markets in the border region, Sa Phin market takes place once every 6 days. Next week’s market is held one day later than the previous week’s session. The backward market is located next to the National Highway 4C in Sa Phin Commune, Dong Van District, 140 km from Ha Giang City.
Sa Phin market is used not only for the trade and exchange of goods but is also a destination for locals to meet and share their thoughts and emotions following their time in the fields.
