Hmong girls

Sa Phin, Dong Van, Ha Giang, 3 Jan 1993

Hidden within a copse of tall cypress trees, Sa Phin was an elaborate 64-room stone and wooden palace, built at the turn of the 20th century by Vuong Chinh Duc, the powerful king of the Hmong. In 1993, it was home to a community of Hmong people living a way of life largely untouched by the modern world. Women were busy dyeing hemp fabric with indigo, their hands stained a deep purple from the dye. Others embroidered intricate patterns, while some chopped wood, cooked, or tended to daily tasks. Children practised sharpening knives nearby, immersed in the rhythms of traditional life.
