Nestled high in Hoang Lien Mountain, Sapa Townlet is known as a beautiful and romantic resort which is 38km far from Lao Cai City. Built as a hill station during French colonial days, Sapa is a wonderful place to escape sweltering summer in Hanoi.The first impression when you approach this town are some detached wooden mansions and villas perched on a hill top or hillside, behind thick pine forests and almost invisible on this foggy morning. Old and new villas with red roofs now appear and now disappear in the green rows of pomu trees, bringing the town the beauty of European towns. With fresh and cool air, the area boasts temperate-zone fruit trees bearing peaches and plums, and gardens for raising medicinal herbs. Sapa is also home of various captivating colourful flowers that can be found nowhere in the country with amazing colours and fantastic shapes. Visitor to Sapa in summer can feel the climate of four seasons in one day.
