The weekly Sunday-morning market in the middle of Dong Van old quarter, where people from the surrounding villages come to trade, eat and meet.

A once-a-year festival market near Meo Vac, held around the 27th day of the third lunar month — part legend, part reunion, part highland fair.

The weekly Sunday market in Meo Vac town, where Hmong, Lo Lo and other communities from the surrounding highlands come to trade, eat and meet.

A Sunday market in Coc Pai town in the Xin Man area, far west of the main Loop — one of the most authentic highland markets in Ha Giang.
