Encountering the Hmong

As a group of teenagers passionate about exploring the world, we embarked on a journey to Hmong lands by chance. Initially unfamiliar with life here, through numerous field investigations, we gradually became acquainted with the people here and began to glimpse more deeply into their lives. This place has a magic that captivates us to record, explore, and seek the answers. Hence, we created this website dedicated to the globalization of Hmong culture, hoping that others may discover treasures of their own and essence of their lives through our experiences.
