A Pa Then fire dancing festival has just been held in the Culture-Tourism Village of Vietnamese Ethnic Groups in Hanoi.
The event often takes place after the last harvest of the year to dispel evil spirits and diseases.
It involves the brave men dancing barefoot on a fire.
Vietnam has about 3,700 Pa Then people, living mainly in Tuyen Quang and Ha Giang provinces.
