Located in Lao Cai Province, the north-west of Vietnam, Sapa is highly renowned as a fanciful town in fog, Sapa mesmerizes visitors for its unspoiled landscape and rich cultural diversity with different groups of local hill-tribe people.

Sapa is also the land of captivating colorful flower – typical symbol of the region which represents the soul beauty of friendly and highly cultured people as well as their unique identity of cultural diversity.

One more reason I save my big love for Sapa lies in its specialties. There are myriad things that you should try. There is nothing quite like grab well-known cuisine in Sapa such as ‘thang co’, ‘san lung’ wine, corn wine and smoked meat.
In addition to scrumptious delicacies that Sapa offers, visitors to this northwest mountainous area can have a chance to gain an insight into Sapa ethnic villages manufacturing colorfully sophisticated handicraft or brocade products.
