Ban Ho village, Sapa, Vietnam. View as slide show.

From Sapa, you can visit Ban Ho village by cars or better by a SUV, because the road is steep and winding. Ban Ho village is about 10 miles from Sapa, where the Tay people lives. Because of the development and adaptation to the Vietnamese society some of them have started wearing Vietnamese clothing. But most women still wear the traditional checkered head scarf.

The road to Ban Ho village is under construction (2007), but beautiful. After Lao Chai, Ta Van, you will travel downhill to Ban Ho village. The view of Ban Ho from the road is spectacular. Acres and and acres of terraced rice fields. I wondered how long it took to transform the mountains into these stepped fields.
