Homestay - Trekking in Sapa, Vietnam

Food & Cuisine in Sapa

There are some restaurants offering both Vietnamese food and some non-Vietnamese dishes. Mid Range hotels usually boast about offering at least some "Western" dishes, and smaller hotels and guesthouses will normally be able to offer at least something non-Vietnamese. However, do not expect it to be "just like Grandma used to make".

Things to Do & See

Sapa is such a colourful town thanks to the H'mong and Dzao people from the local hill tribes who head into the town's market every day to trade their produce. There's a main market every Saturday when the place is packed but there's a lower key one every other day during the week.

Entertainment in Sapa

Considering the number of travellers to Sapa, organised entertainment is relatively scarce and the bar scene slow. For most, an evening out is the guesthouse balcony, particularly if the fog rolls in.

Weather in sapa

The climate of Sapa is highly seasonal, with a subtropical climate in the summer and a temperate climate during the winter. Average temperature for Sapa  town is 15.4ºC, with a maximum of 29.4ºC and a minimum of 1ºC

Sapa Architecture

In the Lào Cai province, the buildings of specific architecture fall into two main categories:
- the traditional buildings of the local ethnic groups
- French buildings dating back to the colonial era

Sapa Handicraft

Until the 1980s, most of the mountain populations in Vietnam used to produce nearly all their everyday life objects. Clothes, basketwork, metal and wooden objects, jewellery, pottery, etc. were made locally according to techniques that were often specific to an area or an ethnic group
