For the grand finale of the 2013 Vietnam Explorer Photo Tour we traveled north to photograph at the markets, towns and villages near the Chinese border. Our base of operations, the town of Bac Ha, is nestled among the emerald rice paddies, riots of bamboo, pine, and orchids of Vietnam\u2019s lush northern hills. Bac Ha is host to a Sunday market where we photographed different local hill tribe groups including the Flower Hmong, Dzao, Giay (Nhang), Han (Hoa), Xa Fang, Lachi, Nung, Phula, Thai and Thulao, bargaining for water buffalo, pigs, horses, bottles of local firewater (made from rice, cassava or corn).<\/p>\n

From Hanoi, it’s a long, somewhat uncomfortable over-night train trip, but the photography opportunities made the journey worthwhile. Below, I\u2019ll share a selection of 26 images shot at two different local markets and a 2 hour walk around a local village.<\/p>\n
