Opened to foreign visitors only since 1993, the mountainous mien bac or northern mountainous region of Vite 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 Vietnemese nation.

This is one of the two small tourist guide books to the mien bac which identifies areas of scenic beauty, introduce the region's many different ethnic groups and provides helpful background notes on its turbulent history. The book takes the traveller on a guided tour of the beautiful north-west mountainous region, ancestral heartland of Black and White Thai, H mong and Dao ethnic peoples and scene of the final decisive struggle between the forces of the French colonial administration and the Viet Minh resistance at Dien Bien Phu (1954).
