Sapa and Northwest area contain beautiful landscapes composed of beautiful valleys, rice terraces, the steep slopes with lush green mountains and picturesque and charming villages where ethnic minorities live.
Sapa and its surroundings guarantee a retirement dream for all fans of mountain hiking or photographers who seek for rare and authentic photos.
The roads to the area are not really in good condition; therefore it might be a sufferance for tourists to travel there by car or bus. That is why we recommend you to use the railway to travel the 380 km distance from Hanoi to Lao Cai, and then take a shuttle between Lao Cai and Sapa. The night train with sleeping cabins is the best option that you can save time for your stay and also live a nice, authentic and unforgettable experience.
