In photos: The pure beauty of Co Tu people
The Co Tu (or Ca Tu, Ca Tang) are an ethnic group in Vietnam. Most Co Tu live in the provinces of Thua Thien-Hue and Quang Nam. The population was 50,458 in 1999. They speak a language in the Mon-Khmer language family.
The Co Tu typically serve rice cooked in bamboo stems, and drink a beverage called tavak. Their famous dances are tung tung (performed by males) and ya yá (performed by females). Traditional Co Tu homes are on stilts and those who live on the Laotian border are known for growing jute and weaving.
Enjoy the pure beauty of Co Tu children and women, in a photo series taken by Vuong Hoang in the highland area of Dong Giang in Quang Nam Province:
