VTV.vn - Perhaps, anyone who has ever made a trip to any region of the S-shaped country Vietnam can't forget most typical images of Vietnam's rural areas, such as earthen levees along river banks, green bamboo tree clusters, rice fields reaching the horizon, especially traditional rural markets in northern villages.

For hundreds of years, traditional rural markets in northern villages have not only been known as a means by which the exchange of goods and services takes place, but they have also displayed distinctive cultural features of the Northern Delta.

Anyone with a homeland will never forget its local market. In the north, rural markets are where you find shady banyan trees, ancient communal houses, and bustling women busy with trade. Rural markets live on in the memories of Vietnamese generations.

They are a thread that connects the village together. And above all, they are a symbol of the timeless traditions of the Northern Delta.
