The rhythm of the early morning market in Ha Giang Ward 2

Every day, at dawn, a market for vegetables and fruits takes place near the central market of Ha Giang Ward 2. The market is not as noisy or bustling as daytime markets, as most of the sellers are wholesalers and the buyers come to purchase goods to resell at other markets or retail points. At this special market, one striking feature is the flickering lights from mobile phones, flashlights, and rechargeable lamps used by both buyers and sellers.

Most of the vendors come from localities such as Quan Ba, Vi Xuyen, and Ha Giang Wards 1 and 2. These areas are known for vegetable cultivation.

A wide variety of vegetables and fruits from growing areas both inside and outside Tuyen Quang province are brought here.

For convenience in trading, both sellers and buyers use personal lighting devices, creating a lively scene illuminated by many small lights.

In the shimmering light, the vegetable and fruit traders create a vivid picture of labor.

Buyers carefully select each fresh green bunch of vegetables.

Women seem to make up the majority of this early morning market, a symbol of diligence and hard work.

The lights of the night market illuminate not only the vegetables but also the perseverance and hope for a brighter tomorrow.
