Episode 10: Sapa 2 - Tribal Lives and Tribal Circumstances

On my third day in Sapa, I decided to take a walk around Ta Phin village to take in the scenery in the area. A side road extends off the boulevard, which leads into the village and points towards Suoi Ho, an adjacent town. I decided to walk down that path and see where it leads. Walking past a traditional Dao house, I met two Dao women that were walking in the same direction as I was. During our three-hour walk to Suoi Ho, they provided me with insight into what tribal village culture in the highlands of Sapa really is like. This episode will touch on the living conditions within the highland region, farming for sustenance, childbirth, education, and juvenile marriage.
