The local people of Sapa are made up of different tribes with the H'mong predominantly. They are dressed in different colours to depict where they are from. The girl in the pic is from the Black H'mong. They are very friendly and lovely people with a lot of smiles. They are very open and sincere. Being with them makes me feel relaxed and safe. Makes me remember my ex-job as a teacher. The politics, the people you have to entertained, smart alec students in school that teachers have to handle everyday. Simple life is b..b...b...beautiful!
There are many different other tribes like the Red D'zao. Found out from the locals that they are having a wedding in one of the tribe and I went down to take a look by hitching a ride from one of them. Wonderful experience. They have chasing the boar game and all those very tribal game. Most importantly, the whole village was there and they are all celebrating with one thought in mind. Happiness for the newly wed. The kind of energy is really amazing.
