Son La is a stopover on the road to Diên Biên Phu. Mainly populated by the Tay minority (black and white), the region is also home to other ethnic groups such as the Muong and Hmông. A city on the border, Son La has long enjoyed autonomous status. This special status is now a thing of the past. Son La has developed considerably in recent years, notably with the construction of a dam on the Black River. This necessitated the widening of the roads, but the charm is no longer there, and it's a real relief to catch a glimpse of the town center after the interminable 4-lane road...
