Pa Co Sunday Market and Batik Workshop

1 Day Tour

If you are lucky to stay here on Sunday we can visit traditional Sanday Market at Pa Co village. We will wake up early (just like the locals) and drive about 30 km to catch the market in full swing. Pa Co is the village of Hmong people, known for their needlework and indigo dyeing. At Pa Co market you can see local women in authentic clothes selling different types of handmade embroidery and hand-dyed Indigo cotton with patterns. Here you can buy some local food - doughnuts filled with meat or beans, boiled corn and fresh fruits. As soon as we're done with the shopping, we will climb up the mountain and look at Pa Co village from above, visit the tea farm and plum garden (in February and March you can enjoy plum blossom). Later we will have a lunch with locals in Pa Co village and enjoy the traditional food of Hmong people. After lunch we will try playing flute from Hmong people and have a batik workshop - learn some authentic paterns or how to dye fabrics with natural Indigo. After all this experience we will be back to Hoa Ban Homestay. Tour is about 8 hours long.
