Located in Vietnam's remote North West
Mountains, Sapa is famous for both its fine,
rugged scenery and also its rich cultural
diversity. Sapa, at 1,600m above sea level,
is an incredibly picturesque resort town
that lies on the Hoang Lien Son mountain
range near the Chinese border in
northwestern Vietnam, known as "the
Tonkinese Alps". Sapa and its surrounding
region is host to many hill tribes, as well
as rice terraces, lush vegetation and
Fansipan (Phan Xi Phang), the highest peak
in Vietnam at 3,143m. As a result of a
recent surge in popularity Sapa has rapidly
become a tourist hot-spot.
Sapa is home to a wealth of colorful,
diverse hill tribes, who have steadfastly
resisted integration into Vietnamese society
and modern life. In fact, the hill tribes,
including the Hmong, Dao (Dzao), Tay, Day
(Dzay) and Xa Pho, comprise the majority of
inhabitants in the area, outnumbering the
Vietnamese (Kinh) who prefer the warmer low
lands
