Description: |
|
Sapa is a small, mountain town in Lao Cai Province. It is
located about 350 km northwest of Hanoi, close to the Chinese
border. Here's where you'll find the Hoang Lien Son range of
mountains, which includes Fan Si Pan—the country's highest peak.
This quiet Vietnamese town is home to different ethnic tribal
groups. There are five main ethnic groups in Sapa: the Hmong,
Dao, Tay, Giay and Xa Pho. It is said that Sapa was first
occupied by the first four groups, since the Vietnamese from the
lowlands (better known as the Kinh) did not colonise the highest
valleys.
These days, Sapa welcomes a diverse range of
visitors, attracted by the highland tribes, iconic rice paddies
and forest treks. The whole area is blessed with awe-inspiring
natural beauty. |
