Workation in Sa Pa: the essentials
Terraced rice valleys drop away from Sa Pa at about 1,500 metres in the Hoang Lien Son range, close to the Chinese border and below Fansipan, Vietnam's highest peak. Hmong, Dao, Giay and Tay people make up most of the population of this market town and former district, and homestays in the valleys are common. The centre has been heavily built up with hotels and gets loud with tour groups on weekends. Fog is frequent and winters are cold, so check for heating before a longer stay. Most people come by overnight train to Lao Cai and shuttle up, or by bus from Hanoi, whose Noi Bai International Airport is about 238 km away.
