Big market with a wide range of ethnic groups: Hmong, Dao, Nung, and merchants from other ethnic groups who come all the way from China to sell their products. Several Pa Zi women sell traditional incense made from the bark and resin of scented trees.

Dragon’s mouth series of waterfalls (Ham Rong) and ethnic Nung villages of Ta Van and Veng Leng. The local houses have roofs covered in traditional baked clay roof-tiles. Three kilometres by road from Mường Khương, then a 1-2 hour easy walk on tracks. The Ham Rong cave, where a river runs through the mountain, is listed in « Vietnam’s natural heritage monuments». It will be open to the public shortly (two-hour visit approximately). In Muong Khuong, taste the local variety of rice called “San Kou”, whose subtle hazelnut flavour will doubtless charm your palate.
