Viet Nam is a real ethnic mosaic composed of almost sixty different ethnic minority groups. The western area is the haven of many groups who recently immigrated from South of China. Fiercely attached to their liberty and faithful to their ancestral life style, they live together peacefully in a serene and laborious atmosphere.
Through magnificent mountainous paths we will discover these hill tribes - the H'mongs living in the high mountains, the Dzaos expert hunters, the Lu women ornamented with silver jewels and lacquered teeth and the elegant Thai women from the valley.
Mai Chau is recommended to start this trip on a Saturday and finish it on a Sunday. Then it will be possible to visit the multi-ethnic markets, a place of interest in the area.
