Can Cau market made an impression on me about the ethnic daily life. It didn't only perform the value of culture also recall people to maintain its unique To be honest, the market is nowadays not as traditional as it did; but no ways to ask them to stay in ancient life while others enjoy modern one. I wish the authority can support well to promote and converse the market

A feast to the senses, colors, smell, flavors. Sound. Go early around 8am that's when the market came to live with locals and the few tourists wondering the market. Enjoy the sights. The food stall was most interesting serving local flavors including stewed horse all parts, pig all parts, variety of noodles. Definitely a photographer's haven.
