Full Width Pictorial: Bac Ha Market, North Vietnam.

// February 9th, 2010 // Travel Pictorials

As promised this is the second in a series of  Full Width Travel Pictorials I’ll be doing. This time it’s of Bac Ha Market in the far North-west corner of Vietnam, far off of the usual tourist trail and closer to China than Hanoi. This set of travel pictures shows the local hill tribes at their best.
