If we arrive at the pass early, we can have the view of high mountains covered in white clouds and take a short ride to visit Silver Falls before starting our Sapa motorbike tour.

Not only owning a natural beauty, Sapa is also special for its cultural beauty as well as colorful festivals. Sapa with highland market sessions is held on Sunday every week. It is a meeting place for ethnic boys and girls.

They confessed to each other through the flamboyant flute and the girls were out of grace through the flamboyant dances, in the most beautiful costumes. At weekly market in Sapa, you can participate in some games such as throwing cotton ball, throwing pao and other fun activities with a crowd of  people. You can also choose for yourself an item as visiting market here that is made by the skillful hands of the workers here.

Spending a day at Sapa as exploring and discovering it might make you exhausted, hence, having a night sleep here is not a bad ideal as we stay at a hotel in Sapa before tomorrow departures.
