Sapa is near the Northern border of Vietnam (close to China). It is known as the Queen of the Mountains. The place is famous for its mountain ranges, the minority people (D'Mong and Dao) who live in primitive villages and the distinct contours for rice padi. Beware of the local women, who can be very persistent touts who speaks pretty good English (they picked it up from tourists)! Some are willing to trek with you for hours before asking you to buy some of their hand-made pouches and bags.
