    Giant crispy apples
    If you come from a tropical country like me, you should buy some apples when in Sapa. They are huge (check out my photo) and very crispy. Cost 15,000 Dong a kg & I got three apples for 1 kg. I am not sure if they are grown locally but they definitely taste delicious!

  • Located off Cau May street, there is this daily run ethnic market by H'mongs, Red Dzao and Flower H'mong. It is a good place to get good bargain with good selection. The place opens up early in the morning and close at 6pm sharp. Some of the vendors actually go hawking in the street later or display their good along the street in the evening.

    ethnic crafts especially needle work on batik fabric, ranging from their traditional costumes and accessories; H'mong Blancket ,wall hanging, raw embroidery works, skirts, men blouses, hats, ribbons, silver button and etc.

    Bargain is a must. Base on the origin of the tourists, they would started with different prices. It is between 30-60% bargain. Best way is for you to judge how much the merchandize would cost, base on the amount of work on it and time consume in producing it. Always give them a chance to make a living and bargain with respect.
