Dao ethnic girls in the northern province of Lao Cai reveal their true beauty through their attractive traditional costumes.
Their costumes can be seen in five different colours but red is often the dominant hue.
A complete costume includes blouse, scarf, shin-guards, headscarf and jewellery.
Dao women use batik to print patterns on their clothes.
