Sapa
is a former French hill station situated in the
sweeping valleys near the Chinese border. Its
high elevation of 1600 meters creates its cool
climate which inspired the French to build
villas there as a summer retreat. Today,
Sapa
still attracts visitors for its stunning
scenery, comfortable climate, colorful markets,
and a variety of ethnic hill tribes who live in
nearby villages. This program has increasingly
become popular through the years with
improvements in the road conditions and the new
4-star Victoria Sapa Hotel making travel today
much easier and more comfortable.
