Hiking in Sapa During Winter
As I stepped foot in the enchanting town of Sapa during the tail end of winter season, I couldn't help but be mesmerized by the beauty of the landscape that surrounded me. The rice terraces were blanketed in thick fog, making the area look mystical.
Eager to explore this landscape, my friends and I decided to hire a hiking guide to navigate the trails. Our guide was a local Hmong lady with an infectious passion for the mountains. With her guidance, we embarked on an unforgettable adventure through the slippery rice terraces and valleys.
Every step we took revealed breathtaking vistas of jagged mountains piercing through the clouds. Our guide shared stories of her childhood and job, offering glimpses into the rich cultural heritage of the ethnic minority tribes inhabiting the region. She also had lunch with us, at a restaurant in her village. The food was simple, but delicious.
Hiking in Sapa during winter was a true test of endurance, but the rewards were immeasurable. The solitude and serenity found in nature, combined with the companionship of our guide and fellow trekkers, made this an unforgettable experience.

Winter Chills
#2023travelwish It has been my long time dream to experience winter. The first time I experienced the beauty of winter was this December when my fiancé and I went to Sa pa Vietnam. The place was amazing! It exceeded our expectation. The food were great, the coffee shops were excellent. We loved walking around the place feeling the cold breeze of the winter air. It was just sad that we didn’t get to see snow as they only have it in January until early March. Our travel wish this coming 2023 is to experience winter again, see real snow and visit places that realizes our imagination of a winter wonderland. #donnahtheexplorer #winter #vietnam #coldbreeze

Sa Pa Sisters
Situated at the Northwest of Hanoi is Sa Pa, a popular trekking site which oversees the rice field. You can go on the trek yourself or join a group led by the tribes. We took the SaPa sisters group trek where a portion of the money you paid goes to the SaPa sisters to help with their daily expenses. They really do not earn a lot 🥲 but they lead with such passion. Beautiful scenery as you trek, but be careful what you buy or you would attract a village of kids 🤪
PS. you do need a certain physical level to join the trek as some are quite difficult to get to. For the adventurous, you can choose to join the most difficult level!

#vietnamtrip
There is no need to rush here, and this leaves more time for the scenery to stop and walk through many places. The atmosphere of nature is the easiest for people to feel relaxed and free. There is no need to gather with tourist groups here, and you can take a big breath of oxygen. Here, in the wilderness, nature is the artist. Here, there is less noise, more peace and comfort. Following the mountain road is like a secret realm, and the wind meets the mountain. However, we are always free, Sapa
Stunning Sun Plaza In Sapa Vietnam❤️🇻🇳
#vietnamtrip
The top MGALLERY hotel in Sapa, Vietnam. How much does it cost to stay at the most expensive internet celebrity hotel for one night in Sapa? The face-to-face answer is: 753 euros. While attacking, I discovered this hotel that was just a flamboyant one and imagined that it was too expensive to stay in. As a result, I opened the Camel Warbler app and found that my planned coupons were reduced to make it the cheapest on the entire network~ With the spirit of trying everything in life, I found myself in this hotel. As soon as I checked in, I was intimidated by the grandiose lobby and was amazed by the grandeur of the Haha Ba swimming pool. So after I checked in, I started exploring various things. I discovered that the theme of this hotel is European Baroque style textile design, with almost every part hanging theme related murals or design elements. My favorite expression is the one lent to others at the elevator entrance. I didn't explore outside the room at night because it was windy and foggy (although the weather has improved, that's the best way to do it)
Sapa hill
Have you ever challenged yourself to be a better version ?
It's quite difficult as every first stage but once you have achieved it. We reach to our self actualization. This issue my partner he challenged himself to climb up to the top of the hill by trekking. He feels better now in mental and physical ways.
This is part of the view when you are upon the Sapa hill which is located in the North area of Vietnam.

Cat Cat Village!
Cat Cat Village
If you are visiting Sa Pa, a popular destination to visit is Cat Cat Village. It offers a glimpse into the unique culture and natural beauty of this region. The walk there is nice, you’ll pass by souvenir shops and cafes where you can even rent the traditional clothes to wear and walk around in to take photos.
It is an easy place to visit even without a tour guide but be ready to walk a lot. There are also a lot of steps. On the way to the village is downhill so may be okay, but the walk back is uphill so it can be challenging to some. There is a waterfall at the bottom which is nice.
It is still very touristy, almost a superficial vibe in some way, but it’s still nice to walk around and experience their culture.

This small Miao town in the northernmost part of Vietnam is always rolling in the clouds and shrouded in wonderful smog. Stroll through this beautiful town, such as the fairyland. Occasionally, a minority woman dressed in traditional costumes greeted with enthusiasm. This is the warmest greeting of the city.
Walk in the streets of Sabah, whether it is a beautiful church or a warm minority woman, it can attract visitors to stop and enjoy. The beauty of Sabah is the perfect combination of beauty and simple people.
From the old market, climb along the steep mountain road and head towards the distant Sabah. At the foot of the mountain, I accidentally met a village, and the place name on the plaque indicated that it had entered the jurisdiction of this elegant town.
in the afternoon, the fog began to rise and gradually spread across the mountains, and the entire town surrounded by
looming European buildings in the distance, in the coming twilight, showed Some different beauty
The beautiful northern Vietnamese town of Sabah is often surrounded by clouds because it is surrounded by mountains. This mysterious city of the clouds is just a stone's throw from Vietnam's highest peak, Panxibang. The cool climate of the four seasons makes it an uncompromising summer resort in Vietnam.
between the lush trees, the villas of the yellow walls and red tiles that were left behind by the French colonial period are still looming, dotted between the picturesque layers. Surrounded by the fascinating scenery of this small town, it is also very refreshing. This beautiful small town in the cloud, in addition to its magnificent scenery, is even more fascinating, it is the mysterious minority culture here.
Among the mountain villages around the town, there are many Vietnamese ethnic minorities. Among them, the most important branch of Miao and Yao. Because the times live in the mountains, these mountain people still maintain a traditional and simple life. Walk into them and gain valuable original human landscapes.
As a colonial summer resort, it also has a fascinating exotic atmosphere. Every morning, accompanied by the bright roar of the birds and the bells of the church, waking up from the lazy sleep, walking in Sabah, which is spread over French architecture, seems to have an illusion of being in a European town. .
Or climb to the observation deck on the top of the mountain, overlooking the vast expanse of the vast land, standing in the fog, leisurely time, always slip away from the side. In the villages surrounded by forests, looking up to the sky like a mirror, they have a breathtaking beauty.
