North East Vietnam. Mountains and Ethnic Minorities.
by Tom Doling
The Gioi Publishers, Hanoi, 2000. Softcover, 4.25 in x 8 in, 235 pages.
The mountainous mien bac or northern mountainous region of Viet Nam is an area of sublime natural beauty, populated by colourful, culturally-distinct montagnard groups who have played an important role in the development of the Vietnamese nation.

This guidebook identifies areas of scenic beauty, introduces the region's many different ethnic groups and provides helpful background notes on its turbulent history. It takes the traveller on a guided tour of the Viet Bac, the beautiful north-eastern mountain heartland of the H'mong, Tay, Nung and Dao ethnic minorities which became the cradle of national resistance during the twilight of the French colonial period.
