Lying on the side of Hoang Lien Son Mountains, Sapa is a beautiful town which is 333 km to the northwest of Hanoi and close to the Chinese border. There are many things to see in this town, from spectacular sceneries, natural spots and ethnic tribe communities. Especially, if you desire to conquer the top of Fansipan Mountain, the highest mountain in Vietnam at 3,143 m, Sapa is your starting point.
Covered by mist, this area was originally a hill station built during the French colony in 1922 for summer escapes from Hanoi. The best way to admire the beauty of the town is walking. Adventurers can take part in many exotic activities here: trekking, climbing, cycling and motorbike trips. Visits to markets are also a highlight of Sapa Vietnam tours.
One of the must-visit destinations of remote-area travelers is Bac Ha Market. Yet only a mere minority of them can recognize the existence of another long-standing market which only held on Saturday – the Can Cau Market of the Mong and the Giay people.
Sapa has been widely well-known for its splendid scenery and special ethnic minority’s lifestyle, which bring out a totally different image from Hanoi – the capital city of Vietnam. However, you might be hesitating when it comes to Sapa’s nightlife activities.
