This a small town perched high in the mountains of N. Vietnam. The surrounding area is lush with green forests, and filled with various indigenous mountain tribes. The whole time we were here it was extremely foggy, which I guess is quite usual for this place - but they went a step further and began burning the fields in the afternoon causing a fog + smog overload allowing you to see only a few meters around you. Before the fog we did get a chance to climb the mountain in the center of town and we were rewarded with a great view of the city and outlying areas.
View of the weekly market - tribe folk from nearby rural mountain villages come to trade their hand crafted wears and crops at this market. Even though it was a whole lotta hustle and bustle this was pure serenity incomparison to Hanoi.
Town center of Sapa - even in the fog and smoke its a beautiful place
View of the town from the surrounding mountains - if you look closely you can seen the French influence on the architecture.
