Sapa is a must in your itinerary

Sapa today changes completely into a tourist centre in northwest Vietnam, quite different from a hill station it used to be in 1922. When coming to Sapa, you discover spectacular cascading rice terraces, surrounded by hills and mounts that tour all of their sides. Standing on a hill and looking down, you are thrilled with views subdued by thick clouds rolling across the peaks and hill tribe people who fill their town with their colourful clothing.

Sapa is quite changed as the tourism has developed to meet the requirement of tourists. However, thanks to building height restriction, Sapa still retains its skyline thrusting upwards. Once launching yourself in Sapa, don't miss its love market, a single's night imaginable.
