Along Highway 6 towards Son La, after contemplating the landscape of the poetic mountains and forests, tourists stop at Pa Co village at the height of nearly 1000 metres. The village of the H'Mong lies amidst the innumerable and extensive mountains and forests wrapped in white cloud. The beauty of the village is seen in a varity of the wooden houses surrounded by stone fences in the white of apricot or plum flowers mixed with the resplendent pink of peach blossoms.

Once being there, tourists shall not help being amazed at the way of weaving cloth from linen fibres, of making poonah paper from bamboo, the joyful games of Cu quay, Pao throwing, way of playing musical instrument to call lover, or the very peculiar custom of “catching wife” of the H'Mong boys.

It is so interesting to witness the kermis – the market held only on Sunday morning – where groups and progressions one by one in new costumes, mirthfully go to market to and then in the later part of the day, the men will say, “Honey, please help me to mount the horse…”
