Si Ma Cai Market
Welcome
to Si Ma Cai Market in Sapa Vietnam
 Hiding
itself in the mountains and forest at the far end of a tough road, Si Ma
Cai Market is often referred to as one of the remotest tribal market of
the region and rarely visited by tourists.
The name Simacai means “
horse market” in H’mong language and old peoples said that It was the
biggest horse market of the region. However, life is changing fast and
horses are not the only purchasing objects nowadays.
The
market place is simply a large ground near the recently developed town
let of Simacai District with some thatched huts built to accommodate
shops and food stalls. Every Sunday, Simacai market attracts some
thousands of Flower H’mong, Zao, Phu La peoples from villages in the
region come to shopping, enjoying themselves meeting friends and
relatives…after hard working days. They spend most of their time at the
market talking, chatting and also drinking a lot.
Simacai is 27km from Bac Ha,
98km from Lao Cai City and
135km from Sapa
