The temperature in Sapa is cool all year round. Tourists who wish to discover this country now have a unique draw thanks to all the aforementioned elements.
Here are 5 places not to be missed if visitors have the opportunity to set foot in Sapa:
Fansipan Peak – The Roof of Indochina
Fansipan is located in the Hoang Lien Son mountain range at a height of 3143m. The “top of Indochina” is the name given to this mountain since it is the tallest in Vietnam and the highest of the three Indochina countries. Fansipan, which borders the two provinces of Lao Cai and Lai Chau, is located around 9 kilometers southwest of Sapa town. Ethnic groups in this area refer to Fansipan as “Hua Xi Pan,” which means “a huge perilous stone” in the local language.
