Coc Ly Market
Welcome
to Coc Ly Market in Sapa Vietnam
Leaving
Sa Pa early Tuesday morning or picked up in Lao Cai arriving with the
train from Hanoi, we drive with land cruiser to Coc Ly Market. The drive
from SaPa will take us approx. 2 1/2 hour. We visit the market with all
it's colourful ethnic people such as Flower Hmong, Phu La and Dao Tuyen
who gathers to buy and sell.
Before lunch we go on a
short trek to the nearby village of Sa Koun Ho which is inhabited by the
Flower Hmong and Black Dao minority.
We enjoy lunch in a local
restaurant before we leave Coc Ly and drive to Trung Do village -
inhabited by Tay minority. From the village we go by boat down the
river, where we experience the magnificent sight of the beautiful caves
and bustling life on the riverbank.
The boat trip takes us about
2-2 1/2 hours before we are picked up by our jeep. The jeep takes us
back to Sa Pa or to Lao Cai train station depending of your wishes.
The road trip takes 1.5 hour
from Lao Cai or Bac Ha (About 55km) and 2 and a half hours from Sapa
