Shops and markets in Vietnam

---

When traveling all over Vietnam, I have seen various shops in different cities and towns selling local products or regular things which are necessary for daily life. One of the interesting places I would also like to visit is local markets where I can find typical products of the places. They can be flowers, cakes, food, rice, dried fish, vegetables etc. In the mountain area of northern Vietnam you can see animals sold at the Sunday markets of the ethnic minority people such as oxen, pigs, dogs, chicken, goats etc. During the festive season there are shops outside pagodas and temples which sell offerings or provide services for the visitors.

Let's have a look at the photos which I have taken and see how Vietnamese shops and markets look like.
