Episode 7: Lung Phin Market
After Meo Vac, no more “road of happiness”, but a road lined with gray rock covered by a thin layer of earth, with here and there the green spots of food crops. The ethnic groups change their culture every year.
We arrive quickly at the market of Lung Phin which takes place the day of the Tiger and the Monkey, we arranged our route with the agency to arrive there this day.
Here again we are in the mountains, the villagers arrive on foot or by moped.
A few kilometers earlier, we thought we were at the end of the world in a mysterious landscape of limestone peaks emerging from the mist, and suddenly we find ourselves in the crowd
The atmosphere is very authentic with many ethnic groups of the region.
Green Hmong
Yao Ta Pan
Hmong
Curiously there are no other tourists, whereas since Ha Giang, we saw many by car or motorcycle on the road to happiness: most of them must return by the same way, because we will not see any of them either at the market or the following hours on the road.
You can buy everything: clothes, food, buffaloes, pigs, birds, television, toys, hardware….
We can also make clothes: I tried a jacket, I am 100 leagues away from being a fashion victim, but from there to go to work with…
It is well worth going so far to meet Basque berets
Vinh served me as a translator to discuss a little with this mother
This one eats manioc and kindly offers me a piece …. not unforgettable
2 hours of market, then we leave Lung Phin by a road in rather bad state
