If you travel between July and September, the time of planting and harvesting, you have a great chance to see local farmers in action. Stop at a local H'mong family in Lao Chai Village to chat with family members and understand their traditional way of life and customs. Notice how their homes are typically built without windows due to the cold of winter.
