Sapa , a tourist trap...

My suggestion

Sapa's great for cheap accommodation. Don't spend your money there - rent scooters so you can get out and about.

Sapa is a town perched in northern Vietnam's mountains. Even though it's touristy, Sapa is a still a great destination!

My suggestion

Put aside two days to hike through Sapa's countryside and explore the region's various ethnic villages.

Sapa is the most tourist-focused town in northern Vietnam and remains the departure point for many hiking trails that offer unforgettable vistas of the mountains and terraced rice fields.

My suggestion

Don't stay in the town of Sapa but take advantage of its sumptuous surroundings!

Hoi Aan is one of the most tourist-focused cities in Vietnam, and with good reason because, in addition to its listing as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city has everything to attract tourists: charming restaurants and narrow streets, exceptional local cuisine, and idyllic beaches. Hoi An will also charm lovers of ancient ruins, who will enjoy discovering the remains of the Cham city of My Son.

Dien Bien Phu and its history

Dien Bien Phu is the capital of the province with the same name. It was the location of a battle which took place in Tonkin from 20 November 1953 to 7 May 1954 against the French Union forces. It is considered to be the place of victory for national liberation.

Sapa and its surroundings

The town of Sapa is located at the summit of a hill, at 1,600 metres of altitude. It is surrounded by beautiful scenery and sits above the Muong Hoa valley, where it is dominated by the famous Fansipan at 3,143 metres. An obligatory stopover during your tour of Vietnam.
