| Rural markets are traditional markets that have long been associated with rural people. Markets are often held near rivers, near roads, in the center of villages for people to conveniently travel and shop. Nowadays, although shopping malls, supermarkets... have been established, rural markets still exist in the countryside. In the photo: Ro Market in Vo Liet Commune, Thanh Chuong District |
