  • Tam Coc. Tam Coc is known for its magical beauty and is sometimes called a smaller version of Halong Bay. One of the more popular areas is the three caves region. The green lushness of the peaceful countryside is breathtaking, and is truly unlike any other area found on the planet. Eco-touring is popular here, with one of the more popular tours involving rowing boats through caverns while enjoying the views of rice paddy fields.

Located on a high plateau overlooking the natural splendor of mountains and rice terraces below, this gathering place for local tribes is a definite must see when visiting Northern Vietnam. Local tribe members often come to Sapa to sell their homemade items, including traditional clothing.
  • Bac Ha. About a day’s trip away from Sapa, Bac Ha is the perfect location for exploring the region’s mountains, highlands and villages. Mountains surround the quiet town of Bac Ha, which is located about 1200 m above sea level. A large market where locals come to sell their wares every Sunday is an absolute must. Vacationers can shop for homemade textiles and more, all while listening to the natural splendor of locals singing their native songs.
