Northern Vietnam travel guide for photographer

WHAT TO SHOOT IN NORTHERN VIETNAM

Northern Vietnam is a great place for photography with street life and landscape photography. In the north of Vietnam is the home of many minority village still keep their own language, costumes and culture of the agriculture mountainous land

With landscape photography the most interesting shooting is the rice terrace in Mu Cang Chai or Ha Giang. It is hard to get there because it located in the top of the hill, so we need to have moto-bike depart from the main road to get the top of the hill for photography, it is a little bit soft adventure of this driving.

The other interesting for landscape photography is visiting the tea hill of Long Coc, the image of the hill look like the up side down bowl

But if you are the lover of street photography, it is a great idea to visit Ha Giang province. This place have many minority and still remain much culture for a long time ago. It is nice to have a hiking to the remote village, take photo of the children on the way, they are very friendly and cute
