Quảng Ninh, as well as being home to native Vietnamese, also
features ethnic groups like the Dao, Tày, Sán D́u, Sán Chay and
Hoa. Essentially, they arrived from the north, having immigrated
between 300 and 400 years ago, and are spread throughout the whole
province. Population-wise, these groups account for 10.8% of the
whole province. Today, these
traditional cultural values are still present among the ethnic
groups of Quảng Ninh. Every form of culture bears a distinctive
character, clearly expressing the requirements and special
characteristics of their way of life. It is what remains special
and mysterious in the villages and hamlets where they live.
