Sa Pa

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

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

#vietnamtrip The top MGALLERY hotel in Sapa, Vietnam. How much does it cost to stay at the most expensive internet celebrity hotel for one night in Sapa? The face-to-face answer is: 753 euros. While attacking, I discovered this hotel that was just a flamboyant one and imagined that it was too expensive to stay in. As a result, I opened the Camel Warbler app and found that my planned coupons were reduced to make it the cheapest on the entire network~ With the spirit of trying everything in life, I found myself in this hotel. As soon as I checked in, I was intimidated by the grandiose lobby and was amazed by the grandeur of the Haha Ba swimming pool. So after I checked in, I started exploring various things. I discovered that the theme of this hotel is European Baroque style textile design, with almost every part hanging theme related murals or design elements. My favorite expression is the one lent to others at the elevator entrance. I didn't explore outside the room at night because it was windy and foggy (although the weather has improved, that's the best way to do it)

Have you ever challenged yourself to be a better version ? It's quite difficult as every first stage but once you have achieved it. We reach to our self actualization. This issue my partner he challenged himself to climb up to the top of the hill by trekking. He feels better now in mental and physical ways. This is part of the view when you are upon the Sapa hill which is located in the North area of Vietnam.

Catcat village is one of the oldest village in Sa pa and known for its natural beauty, surrounded by amazing rice terraces snd flower gardens, beautiful valleys and dazzling waterfalls. #catcatvillage #sapavietnam #vietnam #cinematography #shotoniphone

#freehotelstay Dec 2023 trip to Sapa and Fansipan summit. Wrong season tho but still unforgettable trip! Ideal season is rice harvesting Aug to Oct of the year. Cheers!

Sapa is about relaxing, hiking, learning about the mountainous life and culture, and most importantly the great magnificent view! there are plenty of rice terraces that are still farmed today. get to trek the hills to go to different villages, stay in a mountain lodge, interact with the ethnic minority are some of the activities i got to experience. a great place for getting away from city.
