About this location

Famed for its jaw-dropping natural beauty, this mountainous location is unmissable for those looking to get away from Vietnam’s bustling cities.

Known for

Sapa is famous for its secluded rice fields, dramatic mountains and unique clifftop indigenous culture. You can easily get to Sapa via Hanoi for a quick day trip but we recommend staying for a few days to properly explore the rugged mountain range treks.

The cities of Cat Cat and Ta Phin are great places to start exploring the stunning region without a guide.

While here you have to experience the Fansipan Legend Cablecar which takes you up to the summit of Fansipan for a viewpoint unlike any other.

If you are looking for a tour guide in this area we recommend using Vietnam Travel Top or the Sapa Motor Bike tour.
