Talenam is where I record and share what I've seen, heard, and witnessed in the highland villages of northern Vietnam — places where the cultures of the Dao, Hmong, and Tay peoples are still lived every day.
No tourist itineraries. No cultural performances. Just telling what is real.
From a Sa Pa schoolteacher to a storyteller of highland culture. The story of how Talenam began.
Field notes from Sả Séng village, Tả Phìn commune — where the culture of the Red Dao people is still lived every day.
