Simply amazing. Don’t miss out. Weather in town will not determine weather at the top. It was cloudy the day I went and opened up to blue skies at the summit. Also went solo. Very easy to do. Take taxi or walk to sun plaza Buy train + cable car tickets Take train Take cable car Climb the stairs or take more trains I suggest climbing as you can see all the different views and see and enter temples along the way. There’s a cafe with stunning views at the top to enjoy drinks, rest, use restroom, WiFi.

Ta Phin Village

Reviewed By C500DIgaryh - Morpeth, United Kingdom

I have just returned home from Sa Pa where I went to stay for a few days with my Vietnamese friends who live in the village they always make me feel like one of the family when I visit them every year. I would recommend staying a few day just to see how they live day to day. Everybody is very friendly. Well worth having a herbal bath. My friends do home stay's but don't force things on you, it is a relaxing environment. If anyone needs any information just contact me.

Cao Son Market

This was about a 3 hour ride from Sapa to the Cao Son Market. The last 1 1/2 hr was on a very bumpy road.Cao Son Market was a small local market but still interesting to watch all the local people barter in their colorful attire. Scenery was somewhat cloudy the day we went. Imagine on a clear sunny day, it would be more lovely.

Terraced Rice Fields in Shin Chai Village

Sapa Landscapes is an international destination and the spirit is in between landscapes and local culture. The team is composed by youngsters of several families from the villages around. The difference is that it is possible for the visitors to communicate directly with the villagers, travel with ethnic people who will become local guides, because they are extremely knowledgeable about local cultures, history and the environment, learn English and French from tourists. However the spirit remains the same; we favorise the cultural exchanges by sharing all the natural moments of a day, meals, discovery activities, cooking, drinks, sometimes ceremonies, and even some everyday work like handcart. If there is a request, we can hire local artists for some simple representations, but most of the time, we interact with the local culture more than “watch it”.

Great visit, the rice fields were beautiful and it was excellent to see the contrast of lifestyles throughout the village.

O Quy Ho Mountain Pass

Reviewed By Xcrat - Singapore, Singapore

Except the Balinese alike gate, this place is great place for sunset. Going to that place by a motorbike, it was chilling and windy especially otw back. Beware of the traffic police in the evening, this route is their area to make bribe money and they insulted ladies by asking number n words. It was such a bad exp in Vietnam and it ruined our holidays a bit.

Quang Truong Square

Reviewed By Raymondale - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

It is situated in the center of sapa,just in front of the catholic church.It’s quite a busy spot attracting people who are hanging out at the corners of the square and the streets around the Church.there is a love market held in saturday here.but that time i visited,it was very cold,and misty,hard to see anything,only see some vendors sitting around and selling food or clothes,also kids of minority people selling some little things to you.anyway this place still worth a visit if you want to know daily life in Sapa..
