For people who want to explore Vietnamese scenic beauty, I highly recommend you to having a trip to Sapa. It is a very lovely hill station town in Northern Vietnam near the Chinese border. Culturally rich with different hill tribe minorities, lush mountain ranges, rice terraces, that is all things impressed me. You shouldn’t miss its prideful natural beauty spots such as Ham Rong Mountain, Silver Waterfall, Bamboo Forest and Ta Phin Cave. Especially, you shouldn’t miss trekking the Fansipan Mount with 3,1,43 m height. Well, I think for the people who is adventurous, it is exactly a so-cool and awesome feeling when you discovery it. From the top of the mountain, you can admire the beauty of Hoang Lien Son Mountain Range, which is called “the Alps of the North Sea area”. The pyramid-shaped mountain is covered with clouds all the year round. On top of the mountain is filled with frequent below zero temperature, especially at high altitudes.
To have a perfect vacation in Sapa, you maybe spend 2-3 days to discovery there. Therefore, you should notice to a stay place. All hotels and travel agencies in town offer half day visits to Cat Cat just 3km outside of Sapa and full day hikes to Ta Phin village which lies 10km outside town. Spectacular scenery abounds on all treks in the area. Overnight stays in minority villages such as Sin Chai are also popular options.
For those who are actually fond of scarce and precious specialties of Sapa, forest’s product, handicrafts, delicacies (smoked meat, “thang co”, “cai meo”, san lung wine, corn wine, etc.) are highly recommended. Fortunately, I had opportunities to enjoy all of it, they are very delicious. It is regretful if you don’t taste them.
