The Cong ethnic group, also known as the Xa, Mang, and other names, live in Vietnam’s northwestern region, primarily in the provinces of Lai Chau and Dien Bien. They are among ethnic groups with a population of fewer than 10,000 people but have preserved many of their distinctive traditional cultural features.
