Sapa’s main attraction is not so much the city itself, which is truly lovely, but the fact that it sits above all the landscapes of the surrounding valley, its villages, its markets, and of course, the numerous ethnic communities living in the region, making it a very special place to truly “touch the sky.” Traditional costumes of amazing multi-colored fabrics, vibrant markets surrounded by high mountains, and majestic rice fields with seasonally-changing shades all combine to make the region of Sapa, undeniably, one of Vietnam’s jewels. In addition, Sapa offers travelers some wonderful treks or gentle walks in the mountains, local markets, bicycle rides through villages, and home-stays with locals.
