Sapa Vacation & Tours

Sapa is located in Lao Cai Province – 380 km northwest of Hanoi Capital and close to the border with China. Sa Pa town has an average elevation of about 1,500 m - 1,800 m above sea level, so the weather here is so cool. It has been a gathering spot for many local hill tribes for nearly 200 years. Hmong and Dao people, among others, still come here to conduct trade, socialize, and attend an ephemeral “love market,” where young men and women choose one another for marriage. Since French found Sapa in 1900s, they has built a lot of constructions which still exist up to now.
