About UsAbout Vietnam |
The biggest advantage of the “week end” activities would be for the backpacker tour operators. They can maximise the attendance (& profit) by herding the backpackers onto busses & driving them up to the area en masse. The biggest problem with this, of course, is that the tourists, because of their large numbers, are unable to see & take advantage of a lot that’s on offer. In the past these tours were really the only way to gain access to this wonderful area. However, time waits for no one & in recent times we’ve been going mid week to avoid the crowds & the feed back we get from our guests is that it’s really spectacular. |

Sa Pa is in the far north west corner of Vietnam and very close to China. At about 1600 meters above sea level, the climate is cooler than in other parts of the country. We’ve got lots of great photos of Sa Pa and to see them please click on one of the thumbnails at the bottom of the page. There’s a number of misconceptions about this wonderful area in the northwest of Vietnam. Many people talk about and refer to the “week end” markets at Sa Pa. It often gives the impression that they’re in the same place & the markets are only on the “week end”. Neither is entirely accurate. The following is an attempt to give some detail to the “markets”, their location & the alternatives available to visitors of this magnificent area of Vietnam.
