Many live in remote areas, using slash-and-burn agriculture because those areas are not flat enough for paddy rice production.[4]
They sing sình cồ (love songs) and celebrate the Slếch thlin mảy festival (New Rice festival).
The San Chay people are related with the Shanzi People in Guangxi, China.[5]
