Meeting the Hmong tribe | Exploring Sapa, Vietnam's emblematic mountain paradise
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- Sapa is an essential stop on the itinerary of any tourist visiting Vietnam. Home to the indigenous Hmong tribes, who migrated to Vietnam from China some centuries ago, this gorgeous mountain city attracts hordes of travellers every year. We were fortunate enough to be able to experience the beauty of Sapa without the crowds as Vietnam's borders continue to be closed to foreigners and nobody can visit Vietnam from outside of the country for the foreseeable future.
We were able to learn about one of Vietnam's many indigenous cultures, the Hmong. The Hmong are a mountain tribe who live in northern Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, China, as well as many in the USA. We were shown around by our fantastic guide, Ms Yao, a young Black Hmong woman who was more than happy to share her culture with us and tell us about the realities of daily life for the indigenous mountain people of northern Vietnam.
Ms Yao told us that, due to the lockdown and restrictions on travel due to the coronavirus, Vietnam's tourism has taken a hit and the people of Sapa are struggling to make money without the foreigners.
We were really lucky to have such an excellent guide to learn about a totally different way of life. I hope that you would consider a tour with Ms Yao if you visit Sapa.

I'm in Green Bay WI. we have a very large Hmong population. Beautiful people!
Why are they in Green Bay of all places, I would imagine most Hmong would find the climate too cold!
@@gatheringleaves lol they are mainly concentrated in Minnesota if you can believe it
@@gatheringleaves it might shock you to know that there’s a good amount of Hmong in Alaska too lol
Hmong originally settled in various places but the largest concentration was in California. But in the 90s many went to the Midwest and now lots of them out there.
@@qv8281 People consider them like nomads, living in such countries and high mountain tops.
Hmong peoples are very hard workers and kinds
Wow! I love this. This video was very well made. I just subscribed. :)
I plan on making some Hmong art. I am currently doing research on the culture. :)
Other places to meet Hmong people includes USA, Australia, France, Yunnan China, Canada, French Guinea, Thailand, Laos and more.
We live in Thailand with white and green hmoob friends
Lol im white hmong.

We, hmong only emigrated from China to Vietnam around 1850s...so not too long ago...im one of those that moved West to Laos...and some even went to Thailand...
Im those that went to America. Lol
Thank you for sharing this. My friend and I were supposed to go there this spring but w covid that didn’t happened. I am Hmong and it brings tears of joy seeing SAPA. Can’t wait to go there.
Hiii idk if you knew this but there’s tons of different types of Hmong💞. I am Hmong myself. 💗
Hmong from North Vietnam?
I wonder what thrive my vietnamese exhusband was from, I would love to find out.
I'm Hmong from California. I'll be willing to be the first Hmong to live in Mexico if you find me a beautiful mexican wife lol. California is to expensive so I rather retire there in peace than live without the drama of united States and it's obsession with race war. It's weird in a way to live cause the world is more than just Black n White.
I'm amazed that Hmong people speak English very well. They should not study at school but through communication with sightseers.
Love my Hmong people. I'm truly impressed with her English and more impressed by the way she learned it. Very intelligent.
Vietnam is beautiful! How fun,you are getting to go to many interesting places!
I'm glad you're enjoying them!
Wow! such an interesting culture. great video!
Maybe you could go to some places in Mexico and visit some different cultures there since Mexico is so diverse!
Thank you. Yeah, México has a lot of potential to create videos like this. I hope to make them soon. Thanks for watching the ads
it's very interesting hearing about the girl's story and understanding her culture!
hi karebcita. You look like vietnamese people but when I hear your accent I think you are a Phillipines not a Mexican. Lol :v
13 is too young
Thanks for the tour Ms Yao, very nice. I am just trying to learn a little more about the Lusheng/Qeej flute of the Hmong which is/was also used as a language, very interesting culture. Thank you both (and camera) for the Tour
Very smart women without education
You guys really did a great job with this vlog!!! Can’t wait to visit SAPA!!! So excited!!!! It’s so beautiful there!!! 😆✨🙌🏼🥰

Wonderful content in this video. Love you show a beautiful side of Hmong people, Red people in Vietnam. I can't wait to see more..💖
Did you try to put on any hmong custom clothes and use the crazy convertible toilet ? Jaja.....
Moobnyob Spa Vietnam teb zookawg
Esta bueno ese cumbión que té puso en YT 😁 (el ritmo sí me recordó a las cumbias andinas de Sudamérica).
Si!! ahora que lo mencionas, es cierto. Tienen un ritmo similar
2:25 that smile so cute lol
The hmong girl english is so good
the best time to visit Sapa is either between April-May or September-October when you can see the golden ripening rice paddies
Yes you're right. That's what they told us. Still, Sapa was beautiful
lovely people
Hi Karen, it’s me Camilita jiji, your video this time in Sa Pa is extremely amazing as usual and I’m fond of them. I showed my mom when you described the natural toilet with a stunning view and we couldn’t help laughing 🤣 btw I learn many interesting things about the culture of that ethnic even I’m Vietnamese, thanks so much for this lovely video. My family is a big fan of your channel jaja. Take care so much and I love you ❤️
Hola Camillita!!! Qué bueno que te gustó el video!. I'm really glad your mom and you enjoy the videos. Those toilets and the stunning view were the best. I'm sure there isn't a comparable bathroom like that in the world.
I hope to see you soon. Te quiero mucho
I can't understand what she says on minute: 10:50 - 11:10
People in her village complain to her about her converting to Christianity.
She says she got brainwash lol
@@iknowzthiz1483 thanks
Que buen contenido, me gustó conocer esa cultura tan tradicional! Besos para ambos, cuidense mucho.
We are planning a trip to Sapa in March 2021 and would like a Hmong guide who is as informative and speaks such expert English as yours. Does she have contact information? Thanks so much, great video!
Yes, Ms Yao did a really great job and we thoroughly enjoyed our day with her!
Her Whatsapp details are in the description!
La Karencita thank you so much! Found the info and texted her.
Thank you for the tour.
🔥🌨🌈
Nice video! I believe you'd enjoy my content too. Keep up the great work!
Whos here from Andrew Schulz stand up?
Thank you for this video,i have been interested in the Bush Craft videos on you tube and 1 young man wrote that the outfit his wife wears sometime is very color ful be cause she is an H'mong
girl so i went on you tube and found you in Sapa.He is an amazing young man and a very diligent and wise person,i can hardly wait to see his videos.I don't like to travel and i am up in age
so i really appreciate your videos and slso i don't like to go up high like you did.Again thank you.from the U.S.A.
Hola amiga me encanto tu canal me suscribo y te dejo like espero pase por mi espacio
What months did you go there?
It was during the pandemic in 2020. We could be around without any masks at that moment
Wow. Sound different from Hmong people from Laos and Thailand.
I'm watching the ads to support you btw!
Great job as always!! Love your content. Keep up educating us. Stay safe.
Thank you for coming to see our people. ^_^
These must the the Black Hmong from the northern areas. Very interesting.
Do hmong nyab laj teb speak white hmong? Can they understand hmong nplog teb?
Me who Hmong understand everything what they said
Awesome video !!! Please make more videos .....
The view from those toilets are far better than looking at 4 wall huh.
Hmong girls are so beautiful
thank you Andrew Schultz
Toilet in nature is local Hmong culture, so please respect it rather than making it fun
The toilets were in Sunworld, where the cable car is. It's basically a theme park and not where you'd expect to find toilets like this. It had nothing to do with the Hmong.
You'll have to find something else to be offended by. Sorry.
@@davidcook5604 i am not finding this is so called offense but as a traveller you guys should respect local accomodation rather than taped it and saying something like its weird or making it like prehistoric era, it wouldnt make you guys more civilised
@@TheVietarmy Who said anything about prehistoric era? I think you should examine why you are so quick to jump to this interpretation of what you saw.
Hi, peace and love, interesting video, Karencita, I remember in my Country long time ago they had toilets similar to that, is not making fun is another way to describe something unusual.
Those who are more traveled realizes that it is common in many countries without running water or toilet. This is not a culture nor a want to have a hole in the ground as a toilet, but because of circumstances. These also exist in the USA, except they have small walls called "out house."
'There isn't much tourism in Sa Pa' yeah ok...
Thank you for sharing your video. Sapa Vietnam is on my bucket list to go travel one day.
It's very beautiful. I loved it!
I hope they are safe from covid
tengo miedo que choque el bus y no hay cinturones de seguridad
I am married to a Hmong Moua. Been married 23 years. 5 kids. Also, the girl said they married to family. They don’t marry close blood relatives, some are called cousins or family and not be blood related
nobody ask for your life story
Nice video
Awesome video.
I am Hmong
Awww how lovely ! Would love to visit there some day!!!
Wow Karen.great video. So interesting.
Thank you very much. She did an excellent job showing me around.
Lovely Queen
Beautiful 🤩 pr
Princess 👸
I am so eager to get to visit North Vietnam, I just don't like to go by myself = Tengo tantos deseos de conocer Vietnam, es el pais de mi exmarido. Lastimosamente no supe de que Pueblo o ciudad es nisiquiera sabe el nada ni de su familia.
Ojalá puedas visitar Vietnam muy pronto. En general el país es lindo.
Preguntarle,, con mas razón si tienes hijos? Y los. Llevas. A conocer sus raíces,,, nunca es tarde. Good. blees you.
Sapa huh on the bucket list to see my roots. That place is beautiful
Absolutely fascinating video. You are having some amazing adventures. I am seeing things I would never know about if it wasnt for you two. What I love to see is how well you interact with others, everyone seems so welcoming and helpful.
That Hmong girl is gorgerous
amazing content karen, you're a really charismatic person and do a great job in your videos! the hmong are really unique, right? their language isn't related to any other on asia like the viet family, thai family or chinese-burmese family. I hope time these days are better for tourism in their region. greetings from brazil, love your videos!
Hispanics and Vietnamese people are the hardest workers I’ve ever met, I’d say Vietnamese a bit more even because I used to work with an old viet man in cleanup for a factory. You’d swear he was a 20 year old with wrinkly skin the way he worked and moved. Also Hispanics and viets get along pretty well.
They called themselves Hmong , but we , the Vietnamese, called them Mèo !
Daica Nguyen
nope, they are call hmong .
That word is very offensive and indecent to Hmong. Next time, you call them Hmong.
The word Mèo is derived from Chinese “Miao”. I never use this term because it doesn’t sound respectable. Same thing with the Khmer and Chinese. Sometimes a few people call Khmer Miên, Chinese Tàu, but I never do.
T K Dogs are tasty, what’s wrong with that you little whining child. Let’s be a mature.
I call you dumbass how about that
