Located in Vo Street, Nhan Nghia Commune, Hoa Binh’s Lac Son District, Vo Market has been popular for many generations as a marketplace for not only local people but also those from neighbouring communes, such as Van Nghia, My Thanh, Tuan Dao, Tan Lap, Mien Doi and Quy Hoa.
It is a very bustling and crowding market where people come for not only selling and buying but also chitchatting weekly.
Though many new markets, such as Chieng Market (Tan Lap) and Sao Market (Tuan Dao) have been established in nearby communes as part of the local new-style rural building campaign, Vo Market remains the busiest and most crowded one thanks to its long history.
Displayed at the market are various traditional farm produces, including Ri chicken, eggs, wild-caught shrimps and freshwater crabs, bamboo shoots among others.
There are also a wide range of hand-made cultural products of Muong ethnic minority people, from gongs, to traditional clothing, brocade items, offering a unique experience for first-time visitors.
Vo Market is held from early morning to noon./.
People of the Muong ethnic group have been residing in Hoa Binh province throughout history. Hoa Binh province is a land of indigenous Muong ethnic people. Over the time, the Muong ethnic group has created and preserved a rich and diverse folk culture, in which there is a prominent and unique genre with profound humanistic values - the Mo Muong. Mo Muong has helped to form and nurture the character and soul of the Muong people as well as the land of Hoa Binh.
