This trip takes us deep into the hilltribe region where tourists are still something of a novelty. Visiting Cao Son area allows us to experience, at first hand, a lifestyle that has been little touched by the modern world and a curiosity from local tribe just as great as our own. The spectacular scenery and sense of adventure make this an outstanding time in Vietnam. Cao Son area no dancing or singing, but Cao Son Market in Lao Cai Province always turns colorful and festive on Wednesday, when ethnic people gather there to buy and sell goods, dine and drink, or just wander to enjoy the ambience of the montagnard market. There is nothing more interesting than joining the realm of Flower Hmong, Nung and Dao tribes.
