Young Hmong women wait for their lovers at the Khau Vai 'love market' May 10, 2010. Legend has it the market dates back to 1919. A young couple from different tribes, Nung and Giay, are said to have met at Khau Vai. The girl was so beautiful, though, that her tribe did not want to let her marry a man from another tribe.
