So interesting!
Really enjoyed reading about your visit to the ethnic tribes. How lucky to be invited to the wedding! We visited some villages out of Sapa but those were the Hmong people.

It is a big adventure around North West Vietnam
Thanks Hong Ha for telling us your adventure trip to Lai Chau, Vietnam. It is real Vietnam discovery. You are quite brave and creative during your trip. That kind of your travel not only bring you closer to uniquely beautiful North west but also help us get deeper understanding of ethnic people there. Best wishes, Tony Duc Vietindo Travel
