Sapa Travel Information

High in Vietnam's mountains and close to the Chiness border lies the former French hill station of Sapa.

The surrounding valleys, often shrouded in mist, are home to a variety of hill tribes. With terraced rice paddies and biasing green fields as far as the eye can see, the area offers interesting hiking trails in abundance. Connected by train with Hanoi, Sapa is the gateway to the Hoang Lien mountain range, nicknamed the Tonkinese Alps by the French.

combo du lịch sapa and its environs has some of the best trekking in Vietnam and there are many ethnic minority villages that can be reached in day treks from combo sapa or for a real hill tribe experience it is possible to stay overnight in local villages along the way. The scenery is spectacular, especially in spring and autumn when the skies are clear and blue, and the people are welcoming.
Dominating the Sapa skyline is the peak of Vietnam's highest mountain, Mount Fan Si Pan, rising to 3,143m above sea level. Although very touristy, it's not that difficult to get away from the typical crowds.

Sapa would be of significantly less interest without the H'mong and Dzao people, the largest ethnic groups in the region. The billowing red headdresses of the Red Dzao are visible all over town, a fantastic sight amid the accelerating development.

The H'mong are more numerous and canny traders. Their villages may look medieval but most will have a cell phone and an email address to stay in touch. Traditionally, they were the poorest of the poor, but have rapidly learnt the spirit of free enterprise. Most of the Montagnards have had little formal education and are uneducated; however all the youngsters have a good command of English, French and a handful of other languages.

If possible, try to visit during the week, when combo du lịch sapa is less crowded and more intimate.

Crowds flock to Sapa for the Saturday market, but a smaller market is held every day. There is plenty to see on weekdays, and there are lots of attractive villages within walking distance of the centre.
