In
einem Hochtal inmitten der traumhaften Berglandschaft der Tonkinesischen
Alpen liegt Sa Pa. In der Provinz Lao Cai. Wenn man eine Tour hierher
plant, muss man von Hanoi aus mit drei Tagen rechnen. Einen hin, einen
zurück und einen für den Ort. Man sieht hier ein komplett anderes
Gesicht Vietnams. Reisterrassen, Stelzenhäuser, Albino Wasserbüffel
und Bergvölker. Der höchste Gipfel Vietnams (3143m) kann man
dort besteigen. Denkt daran warme Kleidung mitzunehmen. Die Abende sind
wirklich kühl.

Vietnam - Sa Pa
"Foreigners were arriving in lemming-like hoards and Fridays
were conspicuous for the nose-to-tail buses that lined the market
street." "A general air of boom-town money and shoddy, hurried
workmanship hung over the piles of homemade bricks and construction
materials that littered the sidewalks and backyards. Worst of all,
every relationship seemed adversarial. The guesthouse owners disliked
each other, the Vietnamese disdained the minorities, and everyone
was trying to wring the last dollar out of the transient tourists
before sending them back to Hanoi. Even the dogs were uniformly mean." |

"The best time to witness the scenic beauty of Sapa is in April
and May. Before that period, the weather might be cold and foggy;
after that period is the rainy season..."

Sapa is an old French hill station, nestled among the Hoang Lien Son
Mountains near the Chinese border. Because of its situation near the
tallest montain range in Vietnam, it is possibly the most scenic mountain
location in Vietnam. The members of the Black Hmong ethnic minority
are very present in town, and other ethnic minorities come for the
weekly market. See the travel story and practical information in A
visit to the Montagnards of Vietnam. |
