The further you go, the more you see.
The amazing country of Vietnam offers more than just pristine tropical beaches and unique mouth-watering culinary art. Wandering deeper into some of Vietnam’s most remote areas, you will discover some hidden amazement of Vietnam. There is a faraway dreamland that lies in Northwest Vietnam, a place whispered as where the earth meets the sky.
That place is called Sapa – an enchanting small town famed for its incomparable beauty. The luring small town captures the hearts of scores of travelers by its peaceful beauty in the distant mountains. But there is more to embrace in this obscure magical destination that is referred to as the “small town in the clouds”.
There is a cloud paradise called Sapa
In 1897, the French colonial government decided to open a survey on ethnic minorities in the highlands of Vietnam. The first group of investigators arrived in Lao Cai in 1898. Until the winter of 1903, while conducting the survey and construction of the map, the expedition of the Department of Geography of Indochina discovered the landscape of the Northwest region. This marked the birth of Sa Pa hilltown.
How to describe Sapa? It is the interference of heaven and earth.
Sapa is situated in Lao Cai province, Northwest Vietnam. This is a famous tourist destination since the early 20th century. Located at a deep valley of elegant rice terraces, mother nature favors Sapa with a poetic and majestic landscape.
You will be awed by romantic rivers rushing through verdant rice paddies, fused with mountains covered in lush greens stretching into a distance as far as the eye can see. The miraculous highland town is one of the places in Vietnam where you can touch the soft white clouds from the sky, along with Da Lat.
The diversity of ethnic groups welcoming all visitors
The mountain town is home to a variety of ethnic groups. The H’Mong and Dao are the largest groups, accounting for 70% of the population of Sapa. The other remaining ethnic groups are Tay, Giay, and Xa Pho.
The tribes engage mainly in traditional handicrafts, growing rice, and raising livestock namely buffalo, cows, pigs, and horses. As the hill town has been attracting more and more visitors, some local residents have started to conduct business in the tourism sector.
Each tribe has its own sophisticated history, language, lifestyle, and traditional garment. The distinctive traditional clothing of each group highlights their characteristics. For instance, the iconic tone of the Dao costumes is red. The Tay wears predominantly blue or purple. And the H’Mong classic apparel is in black or decorated with multicolored features. All the ethnic groups combined vividly paint an extraordinary picture of Sapa – original, lively, and colorful.
When you travel to Vietnam, Sapa is the number one destination to interact and immerse in the life of ethnicities. The heart-warming local families are willing to invite you into their cozy home for a meal. What can be better than immersing into the lives of the ethnic tribes to unveil the untold human stories?
Ways to get to Sapa
It’s a long journey to get to the faraway paradise of Sapa. If you depart from your home country, book a flight to Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, then get to Sapa from Hanoi since there is no airport in Sapa. To enter the country, foreign visitors to Vietnam are required to have a valid Vietnam visa. Visa2Asia provides high-standard visa services to help you get a Vietnam visa upon arrival easily and quickly.
If you are already in Vietnam but in the Southern and Western areas, you need to travel by plane, train, or bus to Hanoi so that you can make your trip to Sapa.
From Hanoi, there are certain options to travel to Sapa.
Private Car
For best convenience, you can hire a private driver to Sapa from the hotel you stay in Hanoi or from a travel agency at any specific time. The price will vary depending on where you book, but it is the least stress-inducing option.
Train
Traveling by train is the way that many people choose to travel to Sapa because it is safe and affordable. Hard seat class is only about VND 150,000 ($6.5) per person one way. Soft seat class is VND 280,000 ($12) per person one way.

The inconvenience is the train does not take you directly to Sapa town. The train stops at Lao Cai station in Lao Cai city. From there, you can hop on a one-hour direct bus to Sapa at VND 50,000 ($2.2). Be careful of many scammers that will try to rip you off by selling overpriced bus tickets.
Couch

Fares range from VND 250,000 – 400,000 ($10 – 20) per person/ one way depending on the amenities of the bus (wifi, outlets, water, and snacks). Choose the Hanoi – Sapa bus service that best suits your location and travel time.
Bike
For hardcore drivers, driving a motorbike along the majestic passes to Sapa is ecstatic. Bikes are easily rented in Ha Noi, but you need to have a valid driving license. Before embarking on the 400-kilometer (249 miles) journey to Sapa, make sure you check your bike thoroughly. Furthermore, remember to bring a 1.5-liter bottle filled with gas for emergencies since gas stations are very far apart.
Tackling on a motorbike-trip to conquer passes and embrace the charming landscape along the road is a mesmerizing experience.
Embrace Sapa’s eternal beauty
The magical cloud-surrounded landscape of Sapa is a real treat for the eyes. It’s time to plunge into some of the most aesthetic pristine attractions of Sapa’s staggering nature after a long journey.
Ban Cat Cat (Cat Cat Village) – an untouched highlight of the Northwestern people
It would not be a complete experience discovering sapa without finding out about the hill tribes, visiting their villages, and immersing yourself in the culture. An endearing village is a splendid first attraction to start your Sapa tour.
Just 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) from Sapa town, you will find Cat Cat village, the most beautiful pristine village of Northwest Vietnam. It captures visitor’s hearts with humble rustic wooden houses, small streams flowing through poetic terrace fields. You will be astonished by peaceful beauty, seeming to be nestled in immense nature.
You will have the luxury to splurge on the gorgeous traditional handicrafts, jewelry, and elegant brocade fabrics of hundreds of years of tradition. Witnessing a flock of H’Mong women sitting by looms with iridescent pieces of brocade decorated with designs of birds and flowers is truly eye-opening. And don’t forget to join a refreshing row through the village on the small boat made of interconnected bamboo tubes on shallow river streams.
Unique ethnicity customs make Cat Cat village even more captivating. Travelers coming to Cat Cat in springtime are likely to see one of the world’s weirdest and most ridiculous marriage customs – the “wife snatching”.
Basically, a man can find a way to lure a woman he likes to his house and keeps her there for three days. After this period, if the girl agrees to become the man’s wife, both of them will get to the bride’s home with offerings such as food, jewelry, and money to request for their wedding. However, if in three days the woman does not like the man back, she is allowed to go home happily.
Ham Rong (Dragon Jaw Mountain) – the jaw of dragon overlooking Sapa
If Bali owns a coastline that looks like a T-rex head, Sapa has a mountain resembling the jaw of a dragon.
It is Ham Rong Mountain – a fascinating attraction situated just over 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) from the center of the hill town.
Why is the mountain named the Jaw of Dragon? When looking at the mountain from a distance, you will see the top of the mountain shaped like a dragon’s head facing the great blue sky. Besides the dragon-like appearance, it is attached to a legend passed through generations.
It’s a tale about a dragon couple. A long time ago, there lived a pair of dragons deeply in love with each other. One day, while the two dragons were engrossed in each other, a great cataclysm occurred. Before they knew it, they had been hit by a great flood. The male dragon struggled vigorously and was lucky to escape. But the female dragon, due to being too exhausted, was engulfed in the water. It could only keep looking up at its lover flying in the sky. In time, the female dragon turned to stone with its head looking up to the sky. And that is why the mountain is named Jaw of Dragon.
While you’re at Ham Rong, you will be amazed by a seemingly endless garden full of local plants and flowers. In springtime, this place turns to a magical sea of fragrant blossoms full of blooming cherry blossoms. Remember to climb up to San May (Cloud Yard) at the highest point of the mountain to admire the panoramic view of Sapa town.
Cầu Mây (Rattan Bridge) – a hidden alluring gem of Sapa
Over 17 kilometers (10.6 miles) from Sapa to Ta Van commune in Lao Cai province lies an enchanting must-visit spot named Rattan bridge.

With its sophisticated structure made of connected rattan (or May tree in Vietnamese) wires and hard wooden blanks harvested locally, it is the masterpiece of the H’Mong intellect, wild imagination, and unlimited creativity.
Despite its weak and loosen appearance, the rattan bridge is a sturdy structure. Walking through the bridge can be a quite thrilling experience. Each step of the bridge is 20 centimeters away and it can be a little shaky. Looking down to the river while crossing the bridge may give a nerve-wracking feeling.
Lying across the luring Muong Hoa river, the rattan bridge stands out as one of Sapa’s most romantic spots surrounded by alluring nature.

What more could you ask for such a dreaming view to celebrate love with your half.

Tien cave is a soulful part of Sapa’s vibrant picture. The so-called Ha Long Bay of Sapa is a mystical wonder attracting thousands of tourists every year.

Going upstream about 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) from Bao Nhai commune, the boat will take you to a swirling stream called Tien stream. Along the way are primitive forests at the two sides of the stream creating fresh scenery. Going further about 200 meters (0.12 miles), what lies in front of you is the huge cave that can accommodate hundreds of people. It is Tien cave.
Apart from the graceful beauty, Tien cave is famed for the legendary tale of the three fairies attached to it. The story is about three beautiful fairies living in heaven who were allowed by their father to visit the world. The three fairies could not resist the charming scenery they had never seen before and decided not to return to heaven.
Their father was furious and punished them for their disobedience. Even so, the fairies still stubbornly refused to return, so they escaped to the cave which is Tien cave today. The three fairies knew that they could not escape their sins, so they ended their lives in the river.
Entering Tien cave is like stepping into a majestic natural maze bursting with glittering stalactites naturally structured like towers. To fully explore Tien cave, you will have to go deep in and climb up the rocky banks or cling to the tree roots. Many local Vietnamese believe it’s a sacred place to make your wish come true. Whether it’s true or not, Tien cave is truly a can-not-miss gem of Sapa.

The meat outside is dark brown, yet inside, it is bright red. To enjoy the meat, the locals usually stew, grill, or cook into various dishes.
Thit lon cap nach (Carried-under-arm pork) – a hilarious dish with delish flavor
The name of this Sapa special dish is arguably the funniest name of a dish that would make international travelers burst out laughing. It literally means carried-under-arm pork.
The star of the dish is free-range pigs raised by the H’Mong, whose weight ranges from only 5 to 6 kilograms (11 – 13 pounds). Unlike conventional pig farming, the pigs in Sapa are free to find fresh food in the garden and forest. It is why Sapa’s free-range pork has a distinctive tenderness and sweetness that you cannot in any other kind of pork.
So how did this dish get its off-putting yet hilarious name that involves a non-attractive human’s body part? During market fairs, ranchers hold the pigs under their armpits and bring them to the market for sale. And the buyers bring the purchased pigs home in the same way before cooking. The best way to cook these little pigs is to grill over embers until the skin is golden and crispy. Combined with chili fish sauce, the taste is dynamite.

Cuon sui (dry pho) – the highland version of Vietnamese Pho
You may know Pho (Vietnamese beef noodle soup), the symbol of Vietnamese culinary culture. In Sapa, there is a unique version of Pho known as Cuon Sui, or dry pho, an unforgettable special dish of Northwest cuisine.
Cuon Sui originated from Chinese living in Sapa. Pure white noodles are placed at the bottom of the bowl. Above are tender slices of beef and pork, pieces of boiled eggs cut into quarters, crispy fried shallot, crushed peanuts, herbs, and a pinch of pepper. There is no broth in Cuon Sui, which is the difference between this dish and traditional Vietnamese Pho. Instead, a bowl of thick flavored sauce is served along. To enjoy dry pho, pour all the sauce into the bowl of noodles.
The special sauce of Cuon Sui is made from the bones of a pig that has been simmered for at least five hours. It is seasoned with spices having a strong aroma such as cinnamon, cardamom, and some local Northwest seasonings. Therefore, The sauce is incredibly balanced. It makes the bowl of Cuon Sui both fragrant and delectable.
