Flowers everywhere!

The indigenous people of the area are proud of their beautifully embroidered traditional clothes and wear them all the time, also for identity reasons, as there are several different tribes of socalled "ethnic minorities" in the hills around Sapa.

Rolling around the hills is so much fun!

At the pass between Sapa province and Lai Chau province, not far from the Chinese border - the highest pass in the country!

... or across the bridge!

... rice paddies...


... ancient carved boulders...

... and more water buffalos!
