Sapa

We left Tam Dao early in the morning and arrived at the hotel in Sapa around 4 pm. The journey took over 5 hours, including stops for restroom breaks. Shops along the way overcharged, and due to the chaos, they often gave incorrect change and the prices were significantly higher than advertised. It's best to just use the restrooms if possible. Lá Đỏ Homestay & Coffee (Map: Click) is a beautiful accommodation with a view of the red train going to Fansifan, visible from the balcony. Rooms are reasonably priced between 1000-1500 baht. The accommodation and restaurant are great, and cat lovers will appreciate the many cats. Sapa town itself is also worth visiting.
