We
arrive at Lao Cai railway station in the early morning where our driver is
waiting for us. You will be transferred to the Sapa Hill Station on a stunning
mountainous road surrounded by hill terraced rice fields and heavily forested
mountains. The temperature begins to change as we come higher and higher in
altitude. At the altitude of 1,650 m we reach Sapa.
Sapa
is not only an ideal
place for retreat with its moderate climate, it is also a place of cultural
value and breathtaking mountainous scenery. The town is inhabited by colorful
hill tribes, which are based on the foot of Fan Xi Pan Mount (3143m) and
other surrounding valleys. Here we spend our time trekking around,
crossing magnificent bridges and witnessing green rice terraces
During our trek we
will be exposed to local life and the daily activities. The rest of the day will be
scheduled for leisure time to explore Sapa Town on your own with its scattering
colonial houses and bonsais gardens. Tonight we have dinner in a tranquil
restaurant where we taste some typical local specialties like the ‘Sapa Peach
Wine’. We spend the night in a hotel in town.
