-- Sapa --

Sapa is a former colonial hill station situated in a beautiful valley close to the Chinese border. Located 1600 metre above sea level, Sapa is a cool and breezy resort town first built by the French as a retreat from the sizzling heat of the lowlands. Today, Sapa has been rediscovered as a tourist attraction by visitors who come to trek into the verdant valley and experience the colourful traditional cultures of various ethnic minorities groups. Destinations include remote villages, scenic vistas, and even the top of Southeast Asia's highest peak: Mt. Fansipan.
