Be seduced by SAPA - Vietnam's less-trodden highlands will leave you breathless.

Bro deptrai have you been to this place called Lao Cai SAPA Town?

It's about 400km north-west of Hanoi. It used to be a popular holiday retreat for the French during the colonial era.
About a decade ago, when the tourists mobbed their "love market". An ancient tradition of the Dao tribe where couples changed partners for one night.
The custom was to maintain birth rates to ensure the survival of the Dao people.
But when tourists found out about this ancient tradition, they thronged the village.
Most of the tribes still wear traditional costumes of locally woven n dyed cloths.
There are many trekking routes to the mountain.
Its cool weather, with low hanging clouds amidst mountain peaks and local villagers working on the padi fields,
made a perfect picture for photograghy.
If you're lucky, you can see Fansipan, which is Vietnam's highest peak at 3,143m high above sea level from the SAPA town on a clear day. I'm sure, there will be many many Virgin in this town..........hahahahaha.
