After dinner, enjoy some local evening activities like singing, dancing, and learning to play their instruments if you wish. Thac Ba Lake is a manmade lake in Yen Bai province, created by construction of the Thac Ba hydroelectric plant in 1960s. The Yao (often spelt Dao or Dzao) have been in Vietnam since the 13th century, and are one of the first ethnic groups to settle in the northern mountain provinces of Lao Cai, Yen Bai, and Ha Giang. Yao agriculture developed over centuries and Yao medicine draws heavily from the secrets of the land. Yao people cultivate many medicinal herbs, which not only treat illnesses and ailments, but are used for soothing herbal baths and therapeutic massages.
