Son La is often used as a stopover destination by people who travel between Dien Bien Phu and the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi. The Son La Province is a very small one. It lies in the north western portion of Vietnam.
It is been promoted by the local authorities as sightseeing spot. The region is inhabited by people from different ethnic groups. These include the Thai, the H'mong, the Muong, the Dao and last but not the least the Vietnamese. As it is a relatively small region, the number of people inhabiting the region is consequentially less. Son La in Vietnam, despite its small area and low density of population, has been made a province.
