There will always be a place that makes you smile after reminiscing the experiences you had there. Sapa valley brought me to that feeling.

Sapa is one of the loveliest hill town in Vietnam located in Lao Cai Province. I may compare it with Ha Giang Province but there are some differences between the two. I visited Sapa during the winter season. I never thought I would experience that cold weather as I never expected that during my 22 years of existence in Philippines. Rainy seasons in Philippines are the coldest for me but staying in Vietnam for 2 weeks is never easy. Suffered from two-zero degree is never that easy. Chills at night as homestay places are not as covered as hotels. If you search deeper about Sapa, it is highly recommended for those who like trekking and adventure. Sapa's pride is their special and unique terrain.




I booked my trip to Sapa via Sinh Tourist which I first mentioned in my blog about Halong Bay. It was kinda expensive and the tour includes my accommodation and tour guide. The bus that took me to Sapa send me off the hotel where I am going to stay for one night. It was so gorgeous than I expected. Rooms are so elegant with bathrooms have hot showers. I never regretted paying that big amount at all.

Hà Giang is a remote province of northern Vietnam and about 7 hours drive from Hanoi. It has the most epic and beautiful untouched scenery. Hà Giang province is rarely having visitors or tourists(Idk nowadays). Most of its population consists of ethnic minorities.

The provincial capital, also called Hà Giang, is connected by Highway 2 and is 320 km away from Hanoi. It is said that Ha Giang is the poorest province in Vietnam, but I don't agree with that. In my opinion, Ha Giang is the wealthiest because of its rich nature, happy people and the never-ending culture that is well preserved and maintain even for their small children.
