The village is primarily inhabited by the Black Hmong, one of the ethnic minority groups in the region. They maintain their traditional way of life, attire—distinctive for its dark, indigo-dyed clothing—and handicrafts, such as hemp weaving and silversmithing.
Lao Chai is world-renowned for its breathtaking terraced rice fields that blanket the steep slopes of the valley.
Depending on the season, these terraces turn vibrant green (during the planting season in the summer) or golden yellow (at harvest time in September/October).
The village is a popular destination for treks starting from Sa Pa. Travelers often visit Lao Chai on foot or by scooter to enjoy the natural scenery, experience local homestays, and gain insight into the culture of the local people.
