Discovering Sapa: The Tonkinese Alps of Vietnam
Sapa, known as the ‘Tonkinese Alps,’ is a premier trekking destination in Vietnam. While it features more amenities than more remote regions, Sapa retains its traditional charm with stunning landscapes and ethnic minority cultures.
Reaching Sapa can be done via an overnight train from Hanoi to Lao Cai (around 10 hours) or a newly opened expressway (about 5 hours). The scenic views along the journey are worth the trip.
