Sapa attractions

Sapa has come a long way in the last 20 years with new things to do being added all the time. The new income to the area has also allowed for many things in the town centre to get cleaned up and fixed.

The church is still there, next to the town square and is now the oldest building in Sapa. The lake has also been cleaned up a lot and now has decorations in the middle.

For those that the adrenaline was not flowing strong enough, there are some extra activities to try.

The wholesome fun of scaring family members and loved ones never ages. Here you can walk out on a glass podium to see yourself 100s of metres in the air with nothing but a few sheets of glass beneath your feet. If that is not enough to raise the heart rate there are also some rope bridges with exciting drops and widely gapped steps. The attraction takes around 3 hours to see all of it. To read more about it check here.

Fansipan Sun World Attraction

You can see here the funicular that takes you all the way to the top. Highly recommended as there are many steps that can take a few hours otherwise.

There are many attractions to see on the mountain. From traditional buildings to giant buddhist statues.

For the easiest and most scenic way to the top of mount Fansipan at over 3km high - the tallest mountain in Vietnam. There is a station at the bottom to buy tickets, a tramway to take you to the base station of the cable car which takes you across the Muong Hoa valley and up to the station on Fansipan mountain. Once at the station you can access all the sights and attractions up there as well as carrying on to the top of the mountain. Read more about it here.

Ladies from the Red Dao are in the market to sell clothing that they have made.

The market has moved to a new location because of new building. you can still find great food and interesting things for sale. bartering for goods is the order of the day and the first price is not the price you pay.
