So, what sights can be visited in Sap and the surrounding area.
Market Tank Ha (BAC HA MARKET)
Located this market, 90 kilometers from Sap-Town, in the area of Tank Ha. The market works on Sundays. This is a large local market where they come to trade, for the most part, Hmong and representatives of other ethnic minorities from the region. Naturally, knowing that tourists will come to the market, representatives of these peoples rust their best, so watch this spectacle is very interesting. Unfortunately, with English there is so-so, except for a pair of phrases that the ears are "nodud". Goods vary from vegetables to pets (for example, Asian buffaloes, there are somewhere in the center. In the order of things.). Regular buses travel to this market from the sap (usually at 7:30).
Cat Cat Village (Cat Village)
The village of Kat-Cat is down the hill, 3 kilometers walk from the soup. Wooden houses inhabited by black hmongs, waterfalls, small cafes, many, many greens and beautiful species. Be prepared for the fact that women are hmonies to you with your souvenirs or suggestions to show the village. They are very persistent, straight too much. Complaints on non-immoved children's homes and all that. Be prefers, but hard, otherwise you will leave with an empty wallet. If you are tired after this walk and do not want to drag back to the mountain, rent a motorcycle (it will cost about 20,000VND), and better come here right away on it - you can park near any of the cafes (for a fee).
Mount FanSipan (Mount Fansipan)
Fanspan is the highest Indochina Mountain, which rises 3.143 meters above sea level. It seems that the mountain is not very far from the soup, but the path itself to the top, naturally, is not easy. And this unpredictable weather ...
The campaign to the top of this peak takes from 1-3 days, depending on your physical fitness, but several agencies in the Sap offer a one-day tour (not to the top of the vertex). Special technical climbing skills are not necessary for this case, but stamina-necessarily. It is not necessary to underestimate this tour and certainly not worth throwing it into a distant corner - this is a real challenge, and the award will be gorgeous views of the surroundings and the purest mountain air. This mountain is located 9 kilometers southwest of the soup, in the province of Lao Kai. It is best to climb from October to April, but it is generally possible to other seasons, depending on the weather, of course.
Mountain is located on site Hoang Lien National Park (Hoang Lien National Park) which is in itself an excellent attraction.
The park's territory is the picturesque mountain landscapes and forests, where the most different animals live. Some animal species live exclusively in the North-West Vietnam and are on the verge of extinction. So, nature lovers and mountains will be able to appreciate this park.
Radio SAPA RADIO TOWER)
For a panoramic view on a sap, nothing is better than climbing on the stairs (not much to rise, thank God) to this radio. This is the easiest hiking path in the Sap - the minimum effort and the maximum reward. On a clear day, you can see the entire valley and Mount Fanspan, as on the palm! Isn't that a miracle? Radio is standing on the top of Mount Ham Rong Mountain.
Sapps market
A row of the sappi market begins with the French Church and continues down the stairs, where there are snack traders and fruit - straight into the building filled with benches with objects of various crafts. The market is open every day, but the biggest trade and most of the people - on Saturdays, when the residents of ethnic minorities of the region ride to the city to earn money, and locals and tourists come here for lunch or lunch. By the way, on this one of the few places in the province you can buy postcards with soup views. Well, other exclusive souvenirs. An exciting, noisy, bright - this market is the most attraction of the soup, where you can absorb the real atmosphere of real Vietnam.
The market works from 6 am to 2 o'clock in the afternoon or a little later.
Waterfall Thak Buck (Thac Bac Waterfall)
Also known as Silver Falls ("Silver Waterfall"), Thak Tank is approximately 13 kilometers from the saules, on the way to tram tone pass, the highest pass in Vietnam.
Frequently on both sides of the pass - different temperatures. And, of course, there are just amazing views. Rent a motorcycle and re-reach this waterfall. And do not forget to wear warm clothes, as it happens rather cool.
SAPA Museum (SAPA Museum)
Excellent displays the history and ethnological features of the region, including colonial times when the French dominated here.
The exhibitions demonstrate differences between various ethnic minorities of the district, so it is definitely worth visiting the museum, and on the first day of staying in the saupa (if you plan to stay there longer, and if you do not plan - in any case, go). On the first floor there is an exhibition of objects of crafts and weaving, as well as something from this you can buy for memory, although, of course, it's easier to go to the market and there it should be worked out and buy cheaper.
Address: 103 ɖ Xuan Vien
Work schedule: 7.30-11.30 and 13.30-17: 00
These attractions are expected to be in the beautiful Sap Province!
