An overnight train north of Hanoi and close to the Chinese border is a stunning mountainous area with its main town of Sapa. The Hmong people are one of 54 - yes 54- indigenous tribes of Vietnam
This lovely lady was 95 years old. I asked via my guide if I could take her photo and she said " Why? I am not beautiful"
Well of course she is... and those hands!!
I'll post some more shots up of this region and other parts of Vietnam later on
