Children in colourful clothes selling trinkets and souvenirs has become a popular sight for visitors.

Young children and their mother have travelled into town to set up shop on a step, selling beaded bags and purses. 

Mong, Dao, and Giay ethnic minority children aged from 10-12 travel dozens of kilometers into Sapa City.

They sell baskets of orchids or souvenirs like brocade wallets, hats, and strings.

Children wear unique traditional costumes from their own ethnic minority groups.

Some older children must carry their younger siblings around on their backs so their parents can sell goods. 

Whenever they see visitors, especially foreign tourists, they follow them to hawk their wares and souvenirs.
