H’mong Homestay
The city of Sapa in Northeastern Vietnam is a delightful old frontier town high in the mountainous region of the same name. It has, in recent years, become the center of trekking holidays in the country. Many of Vietnam’s ethnic hill tribes live here including the Hmong, Dao, Giáy, Pho Lu, and Tay. The population of the area is estimated to be around 32,000 of which only 5% are Viet (or Kinh). The area is famous for its terraced hillsides on which the locals cultivate rice. These terraces present a real picture postcard beauty.
The city itself is a quiet place, standing some 5,000 feet above sea level, in the midst of the Hoang Lien Son mountain range, which form the start of what eventually becomes the Himalayas. The nearby Fansipan Mountain is the highest peak in Vietnam tours 2017. The thousands of trekkers that visit each year, do liven the town up somewhat. Hotels and bars are being rapidly built and there is no doubt that it is changing. Local people make ethnic clothes, blankets, silver trinkets, embroidered pillow cases and friendship bands which have become popular items with the tourists. The ethnic people have impressive English skills and welcome tourists, but bear in mind that they do not all wish to have their photographs taken.
It is always best to ask first. Many of the locals work as tour guides, proudly showing people the area in which their families have lived for centuries. Sapa and the surrounding area is incredibly beautiful and a worthy addition to any Vietnam tours sitinerary.
