Sapa is definitely a lovely place to visit. The seats of the Dcar passenger van were comfy & made the ride pleasant. We booked the 2D1N 3* hotel & the room was big & clean! The view from the balcony was so beautiful & instagramable! Although it's a 3* hotel, the meals provided were super tasty & hotel staffs were very accommodating too. For trekking to the villages, it was a long downhill hike of 2-3hrs. Tourists with hips or legs problems are not advisable to do this activity. But sceneries of this trekking were totally worth it. Day 2: Fansipan is actually quite a huge place with some performances and stores before going up the cable car/rail to hill top. Although its "summer" time (day temp 25-28°c), the peak was super cold. Thick jackets & long pants are suggested. I'm guessing the temp of the peak was about 10°c with the strong winds & slight drizzle. We were not able to climb up to the buddha statue because it was cold, raining & not enough time. Overall, a wonderful experience!
