SAPA TRAINS - VIETNAM EXPRESS TRAINS

Sapa came into existence as a hill station during the French occupation. Previously a Black H'mong village, it was discovered early in the twentieth century and developed as a resort for French military officers, civil servants and business people. Its marked similarity to alpine areas in France and its temperate climate made it a heaven from Hanoi's clammy winter dampness and sultry humid summer.

NIGHTLY TRAINS TO Sapa: Fanxipan train, Tulico train, King express, Pumpkin train, Livitrans express, Cao Son train

Getting there
Two main roads wend their way into the north western mountain area: the latter part of the trip offers good views, but the roads are poor and the twelve-hour journey is tiring. For most visitors, overnight train travel from Hanoi to Lao Cai and by road to Sapa is the best option.

Sa Pa today
Today, a few buildings have been restored, notably the church, shelled by the French as the Viet Minh began to advance through the northern mountains. Several of the new buildings are vaguely based on the long gone French villas the Auberge Hotel is a good example. Apart from that, the only enduring memento of the French presence is the inclusion of open fires and chimneys in many buildings a welcome addition as the temperature often slips below zero in winter.

The ethnic minority groups
The main attraction of this area, apart from its superlative natural beauty, is Vietnama's largest concentration of ethnic groups. Many distinct groups live in this area and, apart from those living around the tourist centre of Sapa, their dress, buildings, traditions and lifestyles have changed little over the last hundred years.
