An experience that i will surely remember are the two days spent in SaPa. A beautiful walk through the valleys covered by rice terraces of emerald green color, visiting small villages of huts inhabited by the Hmong. I spent the night hosted by a local family, sleeping in a hut and drinking in company of an elderly local. Great hospitality and atmosphere, which I tried to represent with this shot.

A group of Hmong women on the montain in SaPa. This people lives in small villages among the rice fields, far away from the city.

Shot taken on the mountain of SaPa valley... a family that lives in an isolated hut between the rice terraces of this stunning valley.

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.
