Halong


We hurried up from Sapa, came back Hanoi on a night train which took over 10 hours to travel. Landing at a very terrible train station - LongBien, I could not believe that was called a station :-). The main reason for taking off at that point is after 7AM, Laocai-Hanoi can not reach to HangCo station in the centre of Hanoi. After one hour on bus for travel from the north to the far South, we had a fast sleep at home and then rush out to buy gifts and gather information. At 6PM, we were heading to Quang Ninh on Express Coach, finally we have a room at HaLong city. It was 10PM :-(

Sapa - charming heaven :-)


It was so hot when I got out the train at Laocai. We hurried up to get the coach to Sapa after glazing through Vietnam - China borger gate. We couldn't find out the snow in this reason :-(. Unfortunately, when we were there, the weather was too clear not as we expected. But for all, we satisfied with this photo from the peak of Hamrong mountain.


When you get there, the most interesting thing is you can see, chat, take a photo of ethinic people who live in the remote area, 'san' house and make colorful clothes.
At night, on the Saturdays, you can enjoy the 'climate' of Lovers' market, 'khen' dances and taste 'thang co' (made from horses, highland's food)
I will share our experience on there later. Please packing up and phoning a tour to get there :-)... I believe you can not forget.
