Mountain tribes of North Vietnam
Mountain tribes of North Vietnam
The north-western corner of Vietnam offers a spectacular scenery of steeply eroded limestone rocks covered with jungle and terraced fields. This area is home to a great variety of mountain tribes, some still living as they have for generations. Their village architecture, language, and cultivating methods have many distinctive and attractive features. But it is the fabulous colours and intricate embroidery on their native dress that really make a journey into this remote region worth-while.
