Sa Pa ranks along Ha Long Bay and Hoi An in terms of attracting tourists solely on the merit of its natural beauty and surrounding attractions. It’s particularly rich in opportunities for treks, homestays and (on clear days) the kinds of panoramic views that leave travel writers searching for fresh adjectives and a larger camera memory card.
Mountaintop Sa Pa began life as a hilltop retreat for French colonialists desperate to escape the searing heat of the Vietnamese plains.
There will always be places that get under your skin. Places that you’ll remember and feel like some day you’d like to return. Sa Pa Valley is one of those places./.
