Along with the golden season of terraced fields, the scent of the forest and mountain wind, and the white fog flying all year round, no one can help but miss the colorful brocade costumes of ethnic minorities.
The image of women sitting engrossed in their looms, quietly weaving colorful brocade fabrics has left an impression on the minds of travelers on every journey to explore Sa Pa, Bac Ha and the villages in Lao Cai.
