Sapa to Visit the Hill Tribes

by tampa_shawn - last update: Oct 13, 2006

My visit to Sapa was the highlight to my trip to Vietnam.

There are quite a few different types of Minority Villages around Sapa seeing them and/or trekking in this stunning area are the reasons people come to the area.

It's a wonderfully amazing place a definite must when you visit Vietnam

The various types of Hill tribe people in this area....the Hmong Dao, Hmong, Zay, Zao, Tay and Xapho...each type wears different clothing....always brightly colored.
