Vietnam- Sapa, the resort of hill tribes

Posted 1 year ago by posteye in response to aoife's question: What kind of people live in a resort the size of a seed, like Sapa? (give a different answer) .

First of all, the town is set near the Laotian and Chinese border, at 5000 feet in the highest mountain of Vietnam, Mount Fansi Pan. The population here, known as the Montagnard - mountain people - consists of about 30 ethnic groups, mostly tribes. The most friendly are the Black Hmong and Red Dao. In case u wanna meet them, they gather at the Sapa market to sell homegrown fruits every Saturday.
