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.
