Situated just 14 km from Fansipan Legend Cable Car Station, Hmong Sister House and Trekking provides accommodation in Sa Pa with access to free bikes, a garden, as well as luggage storage space. Boasting full-day security, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. The homestay is located in a beautiful and serene area surrounded by stunning landscapes. The traditional Hmong house was a unique experience and the accommodations were basic but comfortable. The hostess, Lily, and her family were very welcoming and thoughtful. They taught me a lot about their culture and tradition which were fascinating. One of the highlights of my stay was the opportunity to participate in some Hmong activities such as making handicrafts and learning traditional dance. I also had the chance to teach English to some of the local children who were so cute and eager to learn. It was heartwarming to see how much they appreciated the opportunity to practice their English with a native speaker. As someone from England, I couldn't help but compare the Hmong culture to my own. While there are some similarities, such as the importance of family and community, the Hmong culture felt much more connected to nature and their traditions. The pace of life was also much slower and more relaxed, which was a welcome change from my busy city life. Staying at Hmong Sister House was one of the most memorable experiences of my trip to Vietnam. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic cultural experience and a chance to connect with the beautiful nature of Sapa.
