Northern Vietnam

After arriving at Lao Cai station, we visit the hill-tribe market where we start to shop. Because of their colorful dress, they are called “Flower Hmong” instead of others Black Hmong.

I begin my shopping mode from here on so that finally the shopping expense almost equals to the trip expense.

Members of the trip: Mer, Patch, Lek (Alex), Lee and Hui.

We arrive to Sapa in the late afternoon. Sapa is located in the northwest of Hanoi (350 kilometers) in the Fansipan Mountains and 3,000 meters above sea level.

Visit the small lake in the city.


In Sapa, you will see a lot of ethnic minority people adorn in colorful hill tribe costumes walking and selling thing in the streets.



Refill our energy at a lovely café.

Today is the children day in Vietnam. Parade of decorated light lanterns are processed to the football field.
