✨ Tour Overview
Sapa, the Misty Mountain City of North Vietnam: Sapa, the coolest spot on the Indochina Peninsula, is a renowned inland summer resort in Vietnam. Its pleasant climate, captivating natural scenery, European-style architecture and lifestyle, and simple folk customs attract endless visitors, with many Westerners calling it a paradise on earth. Home to generations of ethnic minorities including the Jing, Miao, Yao, Zhuang, Han, Dai, and Hmong, Sapa is like a shy, masked woman in seclusion. Its simplicity and shyness, exotic elegance, beauty and charm, captivate visitors again and again. This rare paradise on earth, imbued with a bourgeois romance, captivates travelers. Even in today's booming tourism era, a short walk from the market to nearby mountains reveals captivating rice terraces and rural scenery. Watch ethnic minorities weave donkeys through the rice terraces amidst the mist and gentle breeze, painting a rainbow across the mountains. This interweaving of tradition and modernity, yet still beautiful, is the most special charm of Sapa.
Ninh Binh, located 100 kilometers south of Hanoi, is the capital of Ninh Binh Province. During the 10th and 11th centuries, Vietnam's capital was located northwest of Ninh Binh City, in a place called Hoa Lu. This was the capital of Vietnam's first independent kingdom and is an important city with a long history and rich ancient culture.

The architecture and décor showcase a blend of French and Vietnamese culture. The square in front of the church, known as the Love Market, was once the site of a local market and a venue for young people to meet.
