Black Ha Nhi people in Lao Cai
In the northern mountain commune of Bat Xat of Lao Cai province, the Black Ha Nhi ethnic people live in 8 out of 16 villages, making up 54% of the commune’s population.
Living at an altitude of 2,000m, Ha Nhi people build houses from mud and soil, with very thick walls to resist cold winter.
