Sapa is most beautiful in spring. Apricot, plum and cherry flowers are splendidly beautiful. Markets are crowded and merry, and are especially attractive to visitors. Minority groups come here to exchange and trade goods and products. Market sessions are also a chance for locals to promenade and young men and women in colorful costumes to meet, date or seek sweethearts. Three days in this hilly paradise is enough to gain a better understanding of the lives of the ethnic minority communities of Vietnam’s north. What’s more? Sapa and its surroundings offer particularly rich ground for trekking. The natural beauty of the area is unparalleled and can be seen in rich, green, gorgeous waterfalls and the unique ethnic minority villages that dot the countryside. This trip is sure to be a rewarding and enlightening experience
