A city of mountains, rivers, waterfalls, and ethnic hill tribes, you'll feel its mystical atmosphere with its towering peaks such as Fansipan and dragon-jaw-shaped Hàm Rồng Mountain. The small trails and rice paddies take you on a journey to connect with the landscape, nature and meet the locals. In the small rural villages, not only do you meet the locals, but you get to experience the culture and learn the history of this city. Plus, it's recommended to explore with a local guide to hear the stories surrounding everything you see. In terms of views, this city not only has a picturesque landscape but hundreds of Orchids can be admired. Sa Pa is an ideal place to start exploring, especially for trekking, as it overlooks the rice fields of the Muong Hoa Valley, and is near the 3,143m-tall Phang Xi Pang peak.
