Climbing to the top of this mountain provides a panoramic view of Sapa, which is shrouded in mist and surrounded by lush green scenery of forests and rice terraces.
Sapa church
Built in 1895, Sapa Church has retained its French Gothic architecture to this day. It is considered the most recognizable feature of the city. In front of the church is a square where locals gather to sing and dance at festivals and sell traditional brocades.
Muong Hoa Valley
Hoa Stream, which runs through Ta Van, Lao Chai, and Hao Thao villages, is the valley’s defining feature. This area has been designated as a national treasure in need of local protection.
Xoi ngu sac
This is the Tay ethnic people’s traditional dish. It gets its name from the fact that it has five colours. According to their beliefs, these five colours represent the five elements of life: yellow is earth, green is plant, red is fire, white is metal, and purple is water. This colourful sticky rice is made without the use of any chemicals; only natural leaves and flowers are used.
Salmon hotpot
It may sound strange, but in Sapa, you can really find fresh and delicious salmon. Sapa has successfully bred salmon varieties from Scandinavia all year round thanks to the cool climate. Sapa salmon is nutrient-rich, low-fat, and delicious. Salmon can be prepared in a variety of ways, including grilled salmon, salad, sashimi, baked salmon, and curried salmon.
Grilled pork
Because the pig is small, it is said to be ‘carried under arm’. Because these pigs are raised in the hills or forests, their meat is tender and low in fat.
Dried buffalo meat
It is also known as dried buffalo meat or smoked buffalo meat. It was initially invented to preserve food during rainy days. The meat is usually seasoned with salt, garlic, pepper, and ginger by the black Thai people.
