For those interested in immersing themselves in traditional cultures, Sapa's Love Market offers a unique experience. Taking place on Saturday evenings, this market attracts ethnic minorities who showcase their colorful traditional attire. Girls often hide in the shadows, singing love songs to draw the attention of young men, who seek out the source of the music. If a connection is made, they may retreat into the nearby forest for a few days, with some even culminating in marriage.
