Highlights:
Maomao Village is located in a valley not far from Sabah Town. It preserves the original ecological alpine Hei Miao village, which is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and is very quiet. The simple local black seedlings have lived here for generations. If you want to experience a different style, this is a good choice.

Highlights:
Sapa is an alpine resort in Lao Cai Province, northwestern Vietnam. It is located at the foot of Fansipan Mountain, the highest peak in Vietnam, and is close to the Yunnan Hekou Port in China. 1650 meters above sea level. There are 54 ethnic minorities in Vietnam, more than half of which live in Lao Cai province, and Sapa is mainly a branch of the Miao and Yao peoples. Compared with other areas that have long been developed as tourist areas, the mountain people in Shaba still maintain a relatively traditional living state, and neither the natural nor human ecology has been greatly affected. There are quite a few exotic buildings in the town because of the former French colony and the recent popularity of foreign tourists. In the early morning, you will wake up to the sound of the church bells, the hotel provides sumptuous western food, and the layered French buildings in the town will make you feel like you are in a certain European town. Vacationing in Shaba is very relaxing, whether it is standing on the top of the mountain to watch the panorama and terraced fields of the sandba that are ever-changing in the fog, or watching the skillful weaving handicrafts of the locals, time will slip away unknowingly.
