The Hmong ethnic group, in the northern province of Dien Bien, celebrate the country’s National Day with as much zeal as Tet holiday.

From September 2 to 5 this year, the Hmong people in Dien Bien Province left aside their field work to gather for this festivity.

Hmong people in their best clothes flock to their meeting places early in the morning.
