How to get to Sapa from Hanoi & how to reserve a bus I'll tell you in detail about how to get to Sapa and how to reserve a bus. Sapa is a place where you have to take a bus or train from Hanoi. The bus takes 5 hours, the train takes 8 hours + the bus to the city takes 1 hour, so the bus takes 9 hours in total, and the bus arrives 4 hours faster, so I took the bus because my schedule was short. I'll tell you in detail how to reserve a sleeping bus! 🚌 How to reserve a sleeping bus 📝 Local app (vexere app) Install the app ▶️ Select the departure area at Start point (Hanoi or Sapa) ▶️ Select the arrival area at Where to (Arrival point) (Sapa or Hanoi) ▶️ Search, check the time + destination Sapa office and select ▶️ Select a seat and pay 📌 Even if your destination is not Sapa office, you can make a reservation at a place that provides shuttle service to Sapa Town! 📌 After payment, the ticket will be sent to the email you entered. If there is a red stamp that says ‘PAID’, it is a properly reserved ticket. 📎 If you received a ticket with ‘ĐÃ HỦY’ written in red, it means that the reservation was not made due to a payment error, so you should contact us by email to resolve the issue. 📌 I recommend Sao Viet (사오비렛) bus company. Many people said that the facilities are clean and the staff are friendly, and after using it, I understand why they recommend it! 📮 The rest area on the Hanoi ↔ Sapa route has a paid bathroom for 3,000 VND per person! 📮 When you arrive at the Sapa office, Sao Viet provides a ★free shuttle service★ to accommodations within the city! You have to take a taxi to places far away like Lac Sik, Eco Farm, and Topas. I took a taxi using Lac Sik, and the driver told me the KakaoTalk, so I was able to use the taxi in Sapa very conveniently..! #worldtravel #sapatravel #sapa

Which city in Vietnam is the coldest? It has to be Sapa. We took an overnight bus from Hanoi at 11 PM to arrive in Sapa in the morning and checked into a hotel. Then, we rented a motorbike to find some Vietnamese food and explore the city. There are cafes and villages to visit. The weather here is great with a sea of clouds and it's cold. The next day, we went up to the top of Fansipan Mountain. It was covered in white fog, making it impossible to see the peak. We traveled in October, so the terraced fields had already been harvested, and we didn't see the rice plants. If you visit at the end of September, you might see the golden rice fields.

As I stepped foot in the enchanting town of Sapa during the tail end of winter season, I couldn't help but be mesmerized by the beauty of the landscape that surrounded me. The rice terraces were blanketed in thick fog, making the area look mystical. Eager to explore this landscape, my friends and I decided to hire a hiking guide to navigate the trails. Our guide was a local Hmong lady with an infectious passion for the mountains. With her guidance, we embarked on an unforgettable adventure through the slippery rice terraces and valleys. Every step we took revealed breathtaking vistas of jagged mountains piercing through the clouds. Our guide shared stories of her childhood and job, offering glimpses into the rich cultural heritage of the ethnic minority tribes inhabiting the region. She also had lunch with us, at a restaurant in her village. The food was simple, but delicious. Hiking in Sapa during winter was a true test of endurance, but the rewards were immeasurable. The solitude and serenity found in nature, combined with the companionship of our guide and fellow trekkers, made this an unforgettable experience. #awesomepic #tripblazers #awesomepic #vietnam ##sapa ##hiking ##mountain

#2023travelwish It has been my long time dream to experience winter. The first time I experienced the beauty of winter was this December when my fiancé and I went to Sa pa Vietnam. The place was amazing! It exceeded our expectation. The food were great, the coffee shops were excellent. We loved walking around the place feeling the cold breeze of the winter air. It was just sad that we didn’t get to see snow as they only have it in January until early March. Our travel wish this coming 2023 is to experience winter again, see real snow and visit places that realizes our imagination of a winter wonderland. #donnahtheexplorer #winter #vietnam #coldbreeze

Sapa, one of the tourist destinations that is trending on Instagram these days, is a place with such beautiful scenery that it was an unfamiliar tourist destination to the point where I didn't even see Koreans four years ago when I visited.

Sapa, a famous Vietnamese tourist attraction that became famous after appearing in New Journey to the West. A tourist attraction where Vietnamese ethnic minorities still live somewhat primitively. A place where you can feel the amazing scenery and healing that you can feel in the highlands. You can get there in about 8 hours by train from Hanoi. It's a bit far, but it's a feast for the eyes!! The healing here is the best memory of your life. Take your time in Sapa! There are various tourist attractions such as experiencing the lives of ethnic minorities, trekking, and cable cars. #HotPlace #Vietnam #Sapa

#Ho-kang-se #Vietnam-travel #Hotel-recommendation “One day during the trip” . . Omniscient Chani’s viewpoint This is Chani Photo Don’t you all have a fantasy about staying at a nice hotel when you travel abroad? Because of that fantasy, when I travel abroad, I try to stay at the best hotel that my budget allows for at least one day So, for this trip to Vietnam, I actually went after looking at this one hotel, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration Since it cost over 400,000 won per night, I thought about it dozens of times In Vietnam, where the cost of living is low, 400,000 won per night is really an incredibly expensive amount… . If you think about it in Korea, it’s about 70-80 So you can think about it… But I had no regrets😆 I spent 400,000 won of my own money, so I spent the whole day taking pictures, resting, eating delicious food, and swimming in a place with a great view, and I thought, This is happiness😍 Today's conclusion: Let's make a lot of money ——————————————— 🏠 Topas Eco Lodge 📌Located in Sapa, Northern Vietnam ❗️ I made a reservation when the schedule was right around the corner, so it was around that price, and if you make a reservation about a month in advance, you can do it for half the price🥲 ✔️ Since you have to take a van from downtown Sapa for 40 minutes, you have to apply for a van operated by the hotel in advance ———————————————— . . -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- 𝕄𝕖𝕞𝕠𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕤 𝕆𝕗 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔻𝕒𝕪

#Ho-kang-seu This is Sapa Clay House, famous as the filming location for New Journey to the West. I didn't go hiking, but this is the view from a 5-minute walk in front of the accommodation..🤭 It was really so cool. The breakfast was delicious, and the bedroom was full of Sapa traditional patterns, so it was a fun experience.

Situated at the Northwest of Hanoi is Sa Pa, a popular trekking site which oversees the rice field. You can go on the trek yourself or join a group led by the tribes. We took the SaPa sisters group trek where a portion of the money you paid goes to the SaPa sisters to help with their daily expenses. They really do not earn a lot 🥲 but they lead with such passion. Beautiful scenery as you trek, but be careful what you buy or you would attract a village of kids 🤪 PS. you do need a certain physical level to join the trek as some are quite difficult to get to. For the adventurous, you can choose to join the most difficult level! #sapa #ricefields #trekking

When you come here, you must not miss the gathering place of the Black Miao people: Maomao Village, which is the oldest settlement in Sapa. The local residents here can be self-sufficient, but some of them are also tourist-oriented. Tickets are required to enter 😲, but I tell you‼ ️You won't regret it🥰Visiting here will require a long distance of hiking, so be sure to consider your physical condition😉 The most famous landscape is the waterwheel (a local hydroelectric power generation equipment💦⚡️) and the endless terraced landscape. Due to the geographical advantage of the mountains, you have a commanding feeling, and you can also feel the cool white clouds surrounding you☁️. There are also some shops in the settlement, which are cultural and creative shops opened by locals, selling commemorative clothing, hand jewelry necklaces, wood carvings, etc., and the countryside scenery is unique💕After a few steps, you can see the buffaloes, roosters, hens, chicks, etc. raised by the residents..., as well as the healing scenery of children playing together🥰 Although it is a long hike, now thinking back, if I have the chance, I must experience it again👌🏻 #Romantic Journey #Cool Travel Experience #Photography Guide #Travel Inspiration #Wonders of Nature

Lao Cai City (Vietnamese: Thành phố Lào Cai), the capital of Lao Cai Province, is located on the Vietnam-China border, facing Hekou County in China's Yunnan Province across the river. It is a destination rich in history, ethnic culture, and natural beauty. Below is a brief overview of its tourism highlights: 1. A Crossroads of History and Culture Lao Cai City serves as a vital trade and cultural exchange hub between Vietnam and China. Its urban landscape blends French colonial architecture with traditional Vietnamese elements, such as the gray-white buildings around Lao Cai Railway Station, which bear the historical imprint of French colonial rule. Additionally, the city was a stronghold for the Black Flag Army during the 19th-century resistance against French forces, with sites like Liu Gong Temple narrating the shared history of Vietnam and China in repelling foreign invaders. Strolling through Lao Cai's streets offers a glimpse into the city's multicultural essence and a snapshot of Vietnam's modern history. 2.

Homestays retain indigenous architectural styles and provide activities like herbal baths, handicraft workshops, and green farming experiences, including rice field cultivation and traditional song and dance performances. 3. Authentic Local Life and Nightlife Lao Cai City's markets and night bazaars are perfect for experiencing local life. During the day, visitors can savor authentic Vietnamese dishes like pho and spring rolls in Lao Cai Ward (Phường Lào Cai). At night, the brightly lit streets come alive with street performers, showcasing the vibrancy of Vietnamese urban life. Nearby cafes and handicraft shops offer spaces for shopping and relaxation, such as French-style cafes where visitors can sip Vietnamese coffee while enjoying views of the Red River. 4. Practical Travel Tips Convenient Transportation: Lao Cai is accessible via a 5-6 hour train or bus ride from Hanoi, or through the Hekou border crossing from Yunnan, making it ideal for planning a cross-border trip. Best Seasons: Sa Pa's terraced fields are most stunning during the irrigation period (March-May) and harvest season (September-October), while Lao Cai City is suitable for year-round visits, with cool temperatures in winter. Nearby Attractions: Combine visits to Sa Pa National Park, Fansipan Cable Car, and ethnic minority markets (such as the Saturday Bac Ha Market) for a 3-5 day itinerary to explore both natural and cultural landscapes. Conclusion With its unique borderland charm, ethnic minority culture, and natural resources, Lao Cai City stands out as a tourism highlight in Vietnam's northwest. Whether you're a history enthusiast, nature explorer, or cultural immersion seeker, Lao Cai offers a travel rhythm tailored to your interests.
