Sapa is a cool mountain town in northern Vietnam, set among rice terraces and ethnic-minority villages beneath Fansipan, the highest peak in Indochina.
Sapa sits at about 1,500 metres in the Hoàng Liên Sơn range near the Chinese border. It began as a French hill station in the early twentieth century and still has a stone church at its centre. Fansipan, at 3,143 metres the highest mountain in Indochina, rises behind the town, and a cable car now carries visitors most of the way up.
