Our trip in Hanoi starts with 2 nites on the train and 1 nite in Sapa. Sapa is the common home of several minority tribes such as Black H'Mong , Red DZao. It is where u find the beauty of nature in valleys, mountains, streams ,waterfalls and the warm welcome of ethnic people. Love the scenery and treking activities.
