Xue, our H’Mong guide, led a fantastic tour. She was timely, professional and had a deep knowledge of the Bac Ha market, people, foods and culture. She navigated the market with ease and introduced us to unique foods and wares. The lunch provided was in a lovely garden setting and the drive coming and going was spectacular. Xue is the best.
