Lao Cai tour packages centre on Sapa, a hill town in the Hoang Lien Son mountains known for its misty valleys and green rice terraces. The cable car to Fansipan, Vietnam’s highest peak at 3,143 metres, makes the summit accessible, while the Hmong and Dao villages of Cat Cat and Ta Van show local life. Bac Ha hosts a colourful Sunday market. With the merger with Yen Bai, the province now includes Mu Cang Chai, famous for its terraces. Nights can be cold, even in spring, so pack warm layers.
