The Hmong are an Asian ethnic group that lives mainly in the mountainous regions of southern China and regions of Southeast Asia that also uses its own language. This ethnic group has a long tradition and is said to come from extremely cold areas such as Siberia.

Different categories of Hmong coexist and can be easily recognized by the different headdress. Different categories of Hmong coexist and can be easily recognized by the different headdress. Traditionally it was the man, and the task of the husband provide for the welfare of the family, while the woman had only task of mere housewife. With the arrival of tourism, things are a bit 'changed .. for example the women from SaPa gather in local markets for the sale of jewelry and handicrafts. Their traditional way of life was based only on the culture of the harvest, especially rice. Along the streets, tourists can see small wooden houses without access to electricity and water, completely surrounded by fields for terrace cultivation. Superb view.
