| Hanoi-Hoa Binh (full day) |
Visit the home of
the Muong and Dao ethnic minorities.
**The city
of Hoa Binh (meaning peace) is 74km southwest of
Hanoi, population 744,000. This is home to many
Montagnard people. Binh town and the adjacent area
was the begining of the Hoa Binh culture.
Archaeological finds show that this is the first
place man domesticated crop plants.
Hoa Binh
province is populated by various ethnic groups,
the Muong, Kinh, Thai, Tay, Dao, H'Mong and Hoa.
The Montagnards handicrafts (especially weaving)
are much sort after but due to Hoa Binh's
commercialism you will find the more traditional
Montagnards and their wears located about 50kms to
the west of the city.
Dont's:
Shoes are to
be removed when visiting homes or Buddhist
Temples. Do not point the bottom of your feet
towards other people or Buddhist statues. This is
not universal so watch what others are
doing.
Shorts are considered inappropriate
attire and are allowed to be worn by children. In
recent times in the main cities, it has been
considered fashionable by women. However, it is
still not widely accepted and has not yet filtered
to the hinterlands. Again, check what people are
wearing around you.
Leaving chopsticks sticking
upright (vertically) in a rice bowl is not
appreciated as this is a powerful death sign. In
doing so this indicates incense sticks which are
burned for the dead.
