Day 07 : Sapa - Lao Cai train to Hanoi August 19th
2005
After
breakfast in our hotel we will climb up to Ham Rong Mount. From here, we have a
fantastic panoramic view over Sapa Town, which is often covered in dense mist.
The setting will overwhelm you with its mysterious character. Great opportunity
to make some snapshots! We bring a visit to the Sapa Market, crowded by
countless colorful hill tribes where you can buy some souvenirs for the
loved-ones at home..
In the late afternoon we drive back to Lao Cai to take a
look at the Cau Kieu (Beauty Bridge) situated over the Red River which forms the
boarder to neighboring China. From here out you can see Hekou, a Chinese Town,
with its high-rises and daily activity. By train we return to Hanoi. We
overnight in our wagon to sleep during the journey.
