Countryside scenery at Sa Nam market
(Baonghean.vn) - Anyone who goes to Sa Nam market will see the boats and the dock. The boats of the past still remember the old dock on the river. Even though the boats go far away, the sea still waits, the dock still waits... Those are the folk songs of Nghe An about one of the oldest markets in Nam Dan town (Nghe An). Despite modern life, the market still retains its rustic appearance.
