Although you need to do a trekking to the mountains to see the "real Life" of the ethnic minorities, you can see people belonging to many tribes in the streets of Sapa.

The Red Dzao is one of the ethnic groups that live in the region. They are called Red Dzao because they always use red to decorate the clothes they wear. There are two curiosities about this tribe. The first is that you can know how rich a woman is by the size of her hat. the other is that the local canon of beauty says women have to shave their hair and eyebrows. Can you see the girl at the background? She shaved her eyebrows.

The Red Dzao live, mainly, in Tam Doung and Dong Van.
