Dinh Ca market in Tan Huong commune, Ninh Giang district, is different from others as it is held only once a year on the morning of the 2nd day of Tet (Lunar New Year).

From early in the morning, thousands of people flocked to Ca communal house to go to the Tet market. Both sellers and buyers shared the same wish for good luck.

After two years of being affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, this year, Dinh Ca market was much more crowded and bustling.
