| Sapa
is home to a wealth of colorful, diverse hill tribes, who have
steadfastly resisted integration into Vietnamese society and modern
life. In fact, the hill tribes, including the Hmong, Dao (Dzao), Tay,
Day (Dzay) and Xa Pho, comprise the majority of inhabitants in the
area, outnumbering the Vietnamese (Kinh) who prefer the warmer low lands |
