Colorful Bac Ha market.
Bắc Hà is a rural district of Lao Cai province in the Northeastern region of Vietnam. It is the capital of the region of the Flower h'mong, one of the 54 minorities of Vietnam and of the 6 groups of h'mong people. It is famous for its Sunday morning market, where thousands of locals gathered, the women dressed in their very intricate hand-made costumes (it takes 3 to 5 months to embroider one by hand), as well as for the Saturday morning smaller market of Can Cau, 18 km north of Bac Ha. The town is enjoying an economic boom thanks to tourism, centered around the markets and, more and more, excellent trekking in the mountains north of the town. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bac_Ha
As dogs were available as cuts of meat, they were also available live, right next to the live kittens , pigs, chickens, and other livestock.
Food Culture in Vietnam
Cat (Thit Meo): Is a special food in Thai Binh Province (the North of Viet Nam). It is said that if you eat cat meat you avoid bad luck. It is also believed to treat impotence, dizziness and tuberculosis.
Dog (Thit Cho): People eat dog meat and drink beer/ wine when they gather together with their friends. However, under the view of everyone, especially people working, eating dog meat is considered to be “bad luck” so it is only eaten at the end of the month, from about 22 lunar onwards to avoid “black destiny”.
