Situated in the Lao Cai province in northwest Vietnam, Sapa is a quiet mountain town and home to a great diversity of ethnic minority peoples such as H’mong, Dao and Tay.

The Red Dao women shaved their eyebrows and foreheads as a sign of beauty.

On the other hand, the Black Hmong women have quite a different taste of fashion.

Must have been quite a burden to the earlobes.

Many of the Black Hmong women carry their baby on their back to work, whether the child is awake,

or asleep,

or, in whatever state.

Of course, the Sapa experience would not be complete without the buffaloes,

the trekking and terraced fields.

Encountered many kids in Sapa.

The cutest baby they had seen throughout the Vietnam trip.

And as usual, more photos.
