Lao Cai is one of several provinces situated on
the Sino-Vietnamese border in the northwestern
part of the country. Apart from the Kinh people,
the province has several ethnic minority groups,
including the H'mong, Tay, Dao, and Thai. The
average temperature in the high mountainous area
is between 18 and 28oC, and between 20 and 22oC
in the lowlands. Economic potentialities: fruit
gardens, cattle breeding.
In the winter, European people visiting Lao Cai
may feel nostalgic at the site of the
picturesque snowcapped mountain peaks. One may
feel lighthearted when spring comes and many
white peach flowers are in bloom.
