Sapa


If you go to Hanoi and you have to choose a trip to either Sapa in the mountains or Halong Bay at the coast, please choose Sapa! It's amazing! Its difficult to describe in words or even pictures. Sapa town is 1600 metres above sea level and is a perched right up in the clouds. The town its self is nice but i guess but its not the town that you come for. Surounding the town are villages made up of ethnic tribes who still wear traditional dress and clothing made from hemp and dyed with indigo leaves. Its a pretty amazing experience visting the villages and meeting the people (who are very nice).
