Dawn shaves the mountain ridges in muted gold as the sleeper bus eases into Sapa town. Cold air presses against your jacket; terraced paddies fan out below like carved steps.

Sapa’s upland valleys are home to H’mong, Dao and Tay ethnic groups; the town grew as a French colonial hill station in the early 20th century and continues to be a crossroads of highland culture.
