Sa Pa
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- For Vietnam I suggest that you focus on the Hanoi region (Ninh Binh, Sapa, Ha Giang Loop, Halong Bay).
- Sapa is amazing and worth a few days, but it's a hike away from everything.
- I missed Sapa and Nimh Binh.
Cons
- I'd try to get off the beaten path in Sapa, the touristy towns are really underwhelming.
- I'd highly recommend going north past Hanoi to Sapa (touristy in the main area but really cool outside of it) and Bac Ha, there are other beautiful places up North that I didn't get to but are worth looking into.
- I'd cut Sapa (too far + adds 2 days of travel).
- Should I cut a day from HCMC or Hanoi to add somewhere like Hoi An, Da Nang, Phu Quoc, or Sapa?
- Sapa - Skip
