Sapa

Set high in Vietnam's northeast mountains, the hamlet of Sapa offers spectacular views of jagged mountain ridges, terraced rice paddies and green valleys inhabited by people of various minority groups, all of whom congregate in Sapa's colourful market. Each group has its own distinctive style of dress. From early childhood girls learn to grow and weave hemp, to dye cloth with indigo, to sew the family's clothes, and to decorate items with traditional embroidery motifs.
