Sapa

Sapa is a small village 350 km north of Hanoi, near the Chinese border. Sapa is known for having spectacular views of a valley with rice terrace fields visible on clear days, with mountains towering above on all sides. The view of this epic landscape is often tempered by dense fog rolling over the peaks, but even when it is cloudy, the local mountain tribes fill the town with color.
