However, many visitors to mountainous provinces are excited about such grocery boats as they can learn a lot of interesting stories about the mobile groceries. The boats move forth and back along the mighty Da River and dock at the river’s sections which are near markets of ethnic minority groups. Markets are open once, twice or several days of a month in villages of ethnic minority groups in remote areas of mountainous provinces but the owners of such boats know very well the opening day of these markets.
