There are two Vieng markets. One opens near to the Day Palace in the northern province of Nam Dinh, Vu Ban District, while another is held at Bi Pagoda in Nam Truc District.
Both markets last from the evening of January 7 through the morning of January 8 of the lunar calendar. The market trade in antiques, ornamental trees and tools for agriculture.
At 7pm on the evening of Lunar January 7, Tran Huy Lieu Road, the main path to the Vieng market in Vu Ban District was greatly crowded by people and vehicles from different localities like Hanoi, Hai Phong and Thai Binh.
“People go to Cho Vieng mainly for pleasure. They buy simple goods at the market to bring good luck to their families. Both sellers and buyers hope that they will have good fortune as a result,” said Nguyen Van Vinh, a local from Nam Dinh City.
The outstanding quality of the market is that either buyers or sellers do not care much about prices.

Shopping is great activity in for every one. Here you share such nice description about Cho Vieng market in rainy weather. I like this all image of markets. I like to play some games in market.
Vieng market is full of people so it is looking like a festival that opens on the 8th of lunar January. This market is agricultural countryside which is most of natural products.
