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.
