I was blown away on arriving at Sapa Clay House after viewing the gargantuan resorts that dominate so much of the area in and around Sapa. The location is away from the hustle and bustle of central Sapa but easily close enough to visit the town for dining and shopping if that is where your interests lie. I had arrived early morning from the night train and arranged for spa treatments first thing since check in time is not until 1PM. The massage and facial were heavenly after the bone-shaking train trip! Highlights at SCH include the beautiful gardens that provide many of the vegetables and herbs that are used to create healthful and delicious meals. The views are spectacular from the many sitting and resting areas as well as the very comfortable rooms. The entire property is tastefully decorated with local art and artifacts. The staff and owners act as one family, and everyone is very attentive to the needs and requests of the guests. As mentioned, the food is amazing, and I had a ginger cocktail that was SO delicious I can’t wait to try to replicate it at home. The staff offered several options for guided walks and as a solo traveler, I was happy to be paired with another couple. We spent a lovely day exploring the stunning rice and tea fields in the Lai Chau district with our guide Do providing information about agriculture, customs, and the cultures of the area.

A great, quiet mountain town - and we didn't even go for the Sunday market! We stayed 4 nights, and would come back. Take tours of the surrounding hill tribes and mountains with Mr Huy Trung, from Huy Trung Homestay, or use his self-guided walking tour maps. We enjoyed the second hand shops and Milano coffee cafe, and a restaurant at BacHA Boutique Homestay, by the lake.

I was in Sapa for a total of 6 days , broken up by 2 treks. Sapa is much busier than I expected, however exploring the town area itself was easy if you were happy to walk, with plenty of nice food options. The Hmong people are lovely , even if you don’t buy from them. Sapa needs to get rid of single use plastics to protect their environment before it’s too late. Fansipan is awesome, Homestay trekking was perfect with Sapa as a base

Very difficult to find your way there, all homestay/hotel owners refuse to provide information and collaborate only with specific companies. English guides limited but a guide named Thao made our stay a nightmare. She was trying to push lunch and other side services, once she realized we didn’t want that, she stopped any guiding and intentionally destroyed half of one day and the whole second day by acting simply as a side person on the trip, not providing absolutely anything. Totally unprofessional and even verbally rude and sarcastic. Avoid at all costs!

We were only here for 2 days but could easily have stayed at least an extra 2 days to see more. Sap was great for Fansipan the highest Mountain in Indochina, Cat Cat village, Moana Sapa and the culture. We had a herbal hot tub at one of the Spa places and it was a great experience, highly recommended as it is something you can't always do. We had the buffet lunch at Fansipan and we had dinner at the local night markets which was great. We caught the sleeper bus up and the sleeper train back down but the bus journey to the train station was a bit hectic. I think you can easily just use another sleeper bus to your next destination. Grab is so easy and cheap here.

Mountainous area famous for plum.

Mountainous area famous for plum. It's called the white valley because during the spring the whole area is covered by plum flowers. So it's best to visit in early January. Otherwise, summer is a good time for plum picking. I had an enjoyable experience picking plum myself and brought lots of them home. I was lucky to visit during the weekends when they had annual horse racing competition. Really memorable. They also have weekly Hmong flea market on Sunday, you can eat local food and see ethnic people trading. Riding motorbike and looking at the mountain was fairly enough for me. You definitely should eat at Sa Mu restaurant. The food was so good that we went there twice.
