Discover the Can Cau market

Like other highland markets, Can Cau market is where ethnic minorities come to exchange goods and buy necessary items. Or, if they don't buy or sell anything, they simply come to "visit" the market.

Besides being rich in agricultural products, the market also has separate areas for tools, fabrics, brocade, and a corner dedicated solely to food.

Baskets, knives, hoes, etc., are among the most frequently purchased items for daily life.


Dried chili peppers are bundled into beautiful bunches – a unique specialty of Can Cau market. In addition, the area is also famous for cardamom, sugarcane, medicinal herbs, and more.

The horse market sits quietly in a corner on the hillside, the pack horses seemingly resting after a long journey to the market.

The buffalo market is given a large, privileged plot of land, which for farmers is truly a valuable asset.

The food court is always crowded and bustling. The most popular dishes are pho, noodles, and various kinds of hot fried cakes...

In addition, there are many types of cakes made from corn, cassava, and glutinous rice flour that are unusual in both name and flavor.

The lives of the people here remain deeply rooted in tradition, seemingly less affected by "urbanization" than some other highland markets.

To go to the market with the best produce and the finest clothes, they had to prepare many days in advance.
