Pa Co Market is about 40km to the north of Mai Chau town, in the middle of the center of three communes namely Hang Kia, Pa Co (Mai Chau), and Loong Luong (Moc Chau, Son La). It is only held on Sundays. As the whole valley is still shrouded in thick dawn mist, the ethnic minorities rush to the market, according to VOV.

Because it only takes place once a week, it is extremely bustling. From the distance, the mountainous market looks colorful with a wide range of brocade ethnic clothes.

The stalls in the market are quite simple, just wooden boards. However, thanks to its pristineness, Pa Co allures a large number of tourists, including both domestic and foreign ones. It is an ideal destination to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, mingle with the indigenous people as well as sample local specialties.
