Khau Vai Market
Legend and significance
According to some documents, this is one of the longest-standing "Vietnam love markets", with a history of over 100 years.
The Khau Vai Love Market festival originated from an ancient love story between a young man and a young woman from two different ethnic groups.
Despite their deep affection, they were unable to be together due to wealth disparities, local customs, and family interference. Although they parted ways, their love remained unchanged, and they agreed to meet annually on the 27th day of the third lunar month to satisfy their yearning.
To honor the beauty of love, the locals named the market "Khau Vai", which, in the local dialect, symbolizes the attachment and embrace of couples.
What sets this love market apart is that it is not just a simple trading fair, but a place for young men and women, both married and unmarried, to meet and interact freely.
Unmarried couples can come here to meet and chat without any hindrance. For married couples, it's an opportunity to see their past lovers and share their life experiences. Here, there is no jealousy, only respect.
