Lao Chai is home to the Black H’mong ethnic people who are so named after the deep indigo dye used in nearly all of their traditional clothing and whose unique textiles are popular products in souvenir shops and markets throughout Vietnam. Ta Van is home to the Giay ethnic people who are, in addition to their main occupation of growing rice, known to make silver products and musical instruments. They live in both stilt and ground houses with a rather unique design where the central part of the house is set aside to place an ancestral altar and also to receive guests.
