Choosing Sugar Cane Stalks - Bac Ha Market
© January 14 2007, Uncornered Market
Most of the women at Bac Ha market are from the Flower Hmong ethnic group. As seen in this photo, they dress in colorful head scarves and beautifully embroidered skirts and tops. Since it is wintertime, they wear an additional, velvet-like fabric on top.
These women choose sugar cane stalks while their sons wait quietly to get a piece to chew on as a reward for their patience.
