Since I travel alone and no other tourists are nearby, so I can spend a lot of time with the friendly, funny Bai women. We have a lot of fun as they show me their hair.

They are famous for their hair. They have very long, strong, black hair. I was very surprised when they broke their hair and we had a lot of fun doing it.
They told me that the hair is cut the first time at 12 years. At the marriage the second time. All the cut hair are picked up and styled into a great hairstyle with a thick knot on the forehead.

I've been there for three days some years ago and I simply loved it! The rice fields and the people in the villages were amazing!
Nice post :)

Thank you! Yes, this small village located in the rice terraces is very interesting. I visited the village only for one day.
