SAPA
The final stop on the Hanoi-Lao Cai railway is located on the Sino-Vietnamese border. Sa Pa is a beautiful and romantic resort town, at the height of 1,600 above sea level. In the town center, old and new villas with red roof now appear and now disappear in the green rows of po-mu trees, bringing the town the beauty of European towns. To the west of Sa Pa Small Town is the hoang Lien Son Mountain Fanxipan covered with cloud all year around. The valleys surrounding Sapa are home to several of Vietnam’s 54 ethnic minority groups, each with their own distinctive dress, customs and dialects. These tribes can all be seen at the weekend market in Sapa town to trade with one another.
