It is estimated that each Coc Ly market-fair attracts 500 to 600 foreign tourists, most of whom are French and American.

Coc Ly market captures the tourists’ attention because of its untouched beauty, local agricultural and handmade brocade products. In addition, the locals are very friendly and do not care much about financial gain. As a result, foreign visitors are often drawn to the market.

The market has become more popular as tourism agencies have included it in tours and turned it into a must-see attraction for all tourists to Lao Cai province.

PANO would like to introduce some photos of the market.
