Thanh’s Blog
Last Tet holiday, my family and I had a great time in Sapa, a mountain town in Lao Cai, in the northwestern region of Việt Nam. We arrived in Sapa early the next morning after taking a night train from Ha Nội.
Sapa is famous for its natural beauty, with rice terraces, mountains, and the diverse customs and traditions of various ethnic groups. This makes it an ideal place for hiking, trekking, and sightseeing. There are many wonderful places to visit in Sapa. We went to Hàm Rồng Mountain and enjoyed the amazing views of Sapa and the surrounding area. Sapa Stone Church was another impressive and peaceful attraction. Mount Fansipan, Vietnam’s highest peak and often referred to as the “Roof of Indochina,” is also a must-see. We made it to the top and took some stunning photos. The most exciting part of the trip was visiting some ethnic villages like Cát Cát Village and Ta Van Village, where we learned about their culture and way of life by talking to the local people.
On this trip, we also had the opportunity to attend the Gấu Tào Festival, an annual event held on the third day of the Lunar New Year. It is a festival in which people of various ethnic groups honour their ancestors and pray for good luck. We saw people dressed in traditional clothing, singing, dancing, enjoying traditional foods like rice cakes, grilled meat, or steamed fish and taking part in buffalo fighting and horse racing.
This trip brought us beautiful memories of the Sapa people and landscapes. We returned with a fantastic photo album that reminded us of a wonderful holiday.
